Lyics

Sinner! come, 'mid thy gloom,

All thy guilt confessing,

Trembling now, contrite bow, 

Take the offered blessing.



Sinner! come, while there's room,

While the feast is waiting,

While the Lord, by his word, 

Kindly is inviting.



Sinner! come, ere thy doom

Shall be sealed forever!

Now return, grieve and mourn,

Flee to Christ the Savior.



Sinner! come to thy home,

High in heaven gleaming!

To the sky lift thine eye,

With true sorrow streaming.
