And unto me he did say, see me die, see me die,
And unto me he did say see me die, And unto me he did say, take warning now by me,
There comes a reckoning day, you must die.
You cannot then withstand, when you die, when you die,
You cannot then withstand when you die, You cannot then withstand, the judgments of God's hand.
But bound then in iron bands, you must die.
I was sick and nigh to death, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I was sick and nigh to death as I sail'd, And I was sick and nigh to death, and I vowed at every breath,
To walk in wisdom's ways as I sail'd.
I thought I was undone as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
I thought I was undone as I sail'd, I thought 1 was undone and my wicked glass had run,
But my health did soon return as I sail'd.
My preentance lasted not, as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
My repentance lasted not, as I sail'd, My repentance lasted not, my vows I soon forgot,
