Matthew 9:24: The death of sin is but a sleep
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The death of sin is but a sleep
Which cannot long its prisoner keep.
If Jesus saith, Restore;
If Christ resolves a soul to raise,
To' inspire with the new life of grace,
And bid him sin no more.
