37t ESTER

HOME 1991 Denson Revision to the Cooper book version of this tune
See LYRICS

Young ladies, all attention give
You that in wicked pleasures live;
One of your sex the other day
Was called by death's cold hand away.

This lesson she has left for you
To teach the careless what to do;
To seek Jehovah while you live,
And everlasting honors give.

Her honored mother she addressed
While tears were streaming down her breast;
She grasped her tender hands and said,
"Remember me when I am dead."

She called her father to her bed,
And thus in dying anguish said:
"My days on earth are at an end,
My soul is summoned to attend.

Before Jehovah's awful bar
To hear my awful sentence there;
And now, dear Father, do repent,
And read the holy Tetament."
