Lyics

Sinners, come, no longer wander,

Turn you from your evil way,

Precious time no longer squander

Come, come away.



Christ for you his life has offered,

What can you excusing say,

If you slight the pardon proffered?

Come, come away.



Hold not back in hesitation,

There is danger in delay,

Haste, secure your soul's salvation,

Come, come away.



You may feel regret and sorrow,

If you fail to come to-day,

God may grant you no to-morrow,

Come, come away.
