Lyics

SINNERS, hear your Lord and Saviour,

Hear his gracious voice to-day;

Turn from all your vain behaviour;

O repent, return, obey!



O be wise before you languish

On the bed of dying strife;

Endless joy or endless anguish

Turns upon th' events of life.



Open, now, your case before him,

Bid the Saviour welcome in

O receive him!  O adore him!

Take a full discharge from sin.



Come, for all things now are ready,

Yet there's room for many more;

O you blind, you lame, you needy,

Come to wisdom's boundless store!
