Heed not the tempter's siren voice
1
Heed not the tempter's siren voice,A deep with dangers rife;Mortal, thou hast a nobler choice—Life, life, eternal life.
2
O, shun the world's bewitching snare,Its fever, and its strife;Mortal, thou hast a nobler share—Life, life, eternal life.
3
Like Abram hast thou faith to bearThe sacrificial knife?Then with the faithful thou shalt shareLife, life, eternal life.
4
For love of God canst thou lay downThy life 'mid hottest strife?Then thou hast won a starry crown—Life, life, eternal life.
