LyicsSINNER, hear the invitation:
Mercy calls you from above.
Come, receive this great salvation,
Purchased by redeeming love.
Jesus calls with sweet compassion,
"Come, ye weary souls, to me:"
Sinner, heed the invitation;
Rise forthwith-he calleth thee.
On the rugged cross-tree bleeding,
Hear the wounded Lamb of God
For transgressors interceding,
While they shed his precious blood;
Hear that dying intercession,
Offered on that bloody tree:
He will pardon your transgression:
Rise forthwith-he calleth thee.
Sinner, soon the day of favor
Will forever pass away:
Hasten to the bleeding Saviour,
Hasten while it is to-day.
He will comfort all your sorrow,
And from every burden free:
Wait not for the coming morrow;
Rise forthwith-he calleth thee.
