REPENT OR PERISH

BY r. A. Hall. Milford, Del.
Heaven. home, and hell
think they're all named we'll
For there is heaven bright
Above human natures night
Where the saved of all ages dwell
A billion miles from hell.
Then there's an earthly home
From which sinners start to roam
TO doom. despair. and hell.
Yes, | think they're all named we'll
Heavens prepared place
FOR all saved by Gods grace:
Home is where humans dwell
just between heaven and hell
But hell is Il place below
Where all lost sinners go
God dwells in heaven above
That radiates His love
And shines in homes of earth
And blesSes human birth
And I'm writing this to tell
God sends no one To hell
hope these lines you'll cherish
For you IL repent or perish! l
