Magdalene College - Pepys
| A soluntary SONG, for all stubborn Sinners to amend / their Lives and evil Ways. / For uncertain is mans life one day / For many you see are snatcht away / We stand in need then every minute & hour. / To pray for Gods Grace to give us power / To repent our lives and mend our ways / We are in great danger in these days. / If Death do come and we be unprepar'd, / There will be then a bad reward; / Therefore we had need to watch and pray / That our Sins they may be all washt away; / There's but one way that we can have, / There's no Repentance in the Grave. | ||
