Lyics

HEAR, O sinner! mercy hails you;

Now with sweetest voice she calls;

Bids you haste--accept the Saviour,

E'er the hand of justice falls:

Hear, O sinner--

'Tis the voice of mercy calls.



See the storm of vengeance gath'ring

O'er the path you dare to tread;

The reward which God is meas'ring,

Soon shall fall upon your head:

Turn, O sinner,

Lest the lightning strike you dead.



Haste and flee to Christ the Saviour;

Seek his mercy while you may;

Soon the day of grace is over,

Soon your life must pass away:

Haste, O sinner,

You must perish if you stay.
