Lyics

Today, if you will hear his voice,

Now is the time to make your choice;

Say, will you to Mount Zion, go?

Say, will you come to Christ or no?



Say, will you be forever blest,

And with this glorious Jesus rest?

Will you be saved from guilt and pain?

Will you with Christ forever reign?



Make now your choice, and halt no more;

He now is waiting for the poor;

Say, now, poor souls, what will you do?

Say, will you come to Christ or no?



Fathers and sons, for ruin bound,

Amidst the gospel's joyful sound,

Come, go with us, and seek to prove

The joys of Christ's redeeming love.



Matrons and maids, we look to you;

Are you resolved to perish, too?

To rush in carnal pleasures on,

And sink in flaming ruin down?



Once more we ask you, in his name,

(We know his love remains the same,)

Say, will you to Mount Zion go?

Say, will you come to Christ or no?
