Lyics

SINNERS, come to Christ the Saviour;

Now his gracious call obey;

Come: this is the day of favor;

Mercy calls: do not delay.

Come to-day:

Mercy calls: do not delay.



Time, on lightning pinions flying,

Sweeps the sons of earth away;

Every moment men are dying:

Sinner, why do you delay?

Come to-day:

Sinner, why do you delay?



Hear the gospel invitation

Ringing in your ears to-day,

Offering pardon and salvation;

Sinner, come, without delay;

Come to-day;

Sinner, come without delay.



By the Saviour's earthly pleading,

Be persuaded to obey;

By his heavenly interceding,

Be constrained, do not delay;

Come to-day;

Be constrained, do not delay.
