LyicsHEAR, 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.
