Lyics

Sinner, seek the priceless treasure,

Offered without price from God; 

Here is mercy without measure

Flowing in the Saviour's blood.

Come, then, to the fount of healing,

Come, and prove its virtues true;

Turn not from love's sweet appealing,

Jesus shed his blood for you!



Come, begin the race for heaven,

Start, to-day, O 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!
