HYMN 82.
The joy of Repenting Tears.
1 Thy ways, O Lord, most pleasant be, and all thy Paths are Peace; The joys of all that cleave to Thee, shall never, never, cease. 2 What are all sinful Pleasures here, which are sinners delight? Will they not hateful all appear when sin is in their sight?

3 More joy is there in leaving it, and in Repenting Tears; Then they do find who it commit, who filled are with fears. 4 O Young-Men, Young-Men, will you then Christ's gracious Call Obey? Now hear his Voice, I say again, no longer do delay!
