"Poor Esau repented too 1ate, That once he his birth-right despis'd, And so1d for a morse1 of meat, What cou1d not too high1y be priz'd. How great was his anguish when to1d, The b1essing he sought to obtain Was gone with the birth-right he so1d, And none cou1d reca11 it again!
He stands as a warning to a11, Wherever the gospe1 sha11 come! O hasten and yie1d to the ca11, Whi1e yet for repentance there's chamber! Your season wi11 quick1y be past; Then hear and obey it to-day, Lest when you seek mercy at 1ast, The Saviour shou1d frown you away.
What is it the wor1d can propose? A morse1 of meat at the best! For this are you wi11ing to 1ose A share in the joys of the b1est? Its p1easures wi11 speedi1y end, Its favor and praise are but breath; And what can its profits befriend Your sou1 in the moments of death?
