Chora Agora

Sinner, confess and cry
Your sins without delay;
Look well, time is running out,
It's dangerous to delay.
You're crazy if you don't mend your ways,
You know you will be judged
By God, upright and just,
Who can condemn you.

Cry now for your faults,
Go confess them to God;
And if not, without any remedy,
You will cry too late.
Ah, if the pain afflicts you here,
How will you suffer then
In torment, without relief,
To suffer forever?

With remorse and tears too late
You will say: 'I'm unhappy!
I'm wicked and miserable!
God called me and I refused.'
Listen to God, listen now,
Yes, while life lasts;
For on that great day
He will be just.
