GOod Christian People understand, Let us Repent now out of hand, And not to live in such a way, As many do at this present day: There is no truth in many a one, So by that means are all undone.
Our sinful lives breeds all this woe, We cannot know a Friend from our Foe: One Neighbour will strive to wrong another, We cannot trust Sister nor Brother: There is no truth, etc.
There is Cheating and Cozening every day, So by that means we go astray; They taking of Gods Name in vain, They venture their Souls for worldly gain: there is no truth, etc. They'll Jear and Swear, and Curse and Lye, And act their Sins so very high, They think there is no God in Heaven, How shall such sinners be forgiven? there is no truth, etc. So much Drunkenness as now is us'd, And Gods good Ceature is sore abus'd; With hateful Pride, and Malice store, There is no pitty to the Poor: there is no truth, etc. To see when Love we did embrace, There was no want in any place; The Poor they need not to complain, Their hungery Bowels to maintain: there is no truth, etc. Therefore we need to have a care, To leave our sins, and go to Prayer; That our Saviour Christ he may be pleas'd, That our sinful Souls they may be eas[']d: there is no truth, etc. And not to sleep and snort in sin, That's not the way Heaven to win; But call for Grace, and beg and pray, That God may Guide us night and day: there is no truth, etc. But so many cursed Cains there be, That falls a Murdering; Villany That dangers Souls and Bodies, sure, The pains of Hell for to endure: there is no truth, etc.
There's not a Sin in Sodom nam'd, But here in England it is fram'd, And us'd amongst us it is so, Which fills our Kingdom full of Woe: there is no truth, etc. We are told of all Sins, to be sure, Of Gods Ministers, that are so pure; They tell the Danger we are in, But yet we cannot leave our Sin: there is no truth, etc. Both old and young, both great and small, You see the Danger of us all; Let's mend our Lives, and call for Grace, Our time is going on apace: there is no truth, etc. To live in fear, and have a care, To free us from that wicked Snare; For Satan with his craftcrafty wile, Mens Fancies oft he does beguile: there is no truth, etc. And let us live in Love and Peace, That Charity it may encrease; And true Repentance for our Sin, That we a New Life may begin: there is no truth, etc. Now to conclude what we do Sing, Give Praise to God in every thing; That he may bring us unto Heaven, That all our Sins may be forgiven: There is no truth in many a one, So by that means are all undone.
FINIS.
