Lyics

Sin-ner, seek the price-less trea-sure,

Of-fered with-out price from God;

Here is mer-cy with-out mea-sure,

Flow-ing in the Sa-vior's blood.

Come, then, to the fount of heal-ing,

Come, and prove its vir-tues true;

Turn not from love's sweet ap-peal-ing,

Je-sus shed his blood for you.



Come, begin the race for heaven;

Start to-day, oh do not wait;

Now's the time that God has given;

Sinner, do not be too late.

When the door of mercy closes,

You will stand and knock in vain;

For, when justice interposes,

Mercy will not call again!
