Lyics

Hear, O sinner, mercy hails you
Now with sweetest voice she calls;
Bids you haste - accept the Saviour,
Ere the hand of justice falls:
Hear, O sinner -
'T is the voice of mercy calls.


See the storm of vengeance gathering
O'er the path you dare to tread,
The reward which God is measuring
Soon shall fall upon your head:
Turn, O sinner -
Lest his lightnings strike you dead.


Haste, and flee to Christ your 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.
