Here I lay upon my dying pillow Around my bed there's someone getting dark They are watching the saddest thing that can happen They are seeing a sinner as he dies As death's cold shadow hovers o'er me To all sinners I plead with my last breath Don't shun the work of God that's what I've done And tonight I'm dying a sinner's death No one can know until he faces it How bad dying a sinner can be I'm facing it now as I plead with you Don't let it be with you as it is with me My eyes feel so heavy as death claims me No one can truthfully say I'm going to rest When you look upon my face please have pity Yes pity and hope for the best
