LyicsLISTEN, sinner! mercy hails you;
With her sweetest voice she calls;
Bids you hasten to the Saviour
Ere the hand of justice falls.--CHO.
Chorus.--Turn to the lord, and seek salvation,
Come, the gospel call obey,
Harken to the invitation;
O receive His grace to-day!
See the storm of vengeance gath'ring
O'er the path you dare to tread;
Hark! the awful thunders rolling
Loud and louder o'er your head.--CHO.
Haste, O hasten to the Saviour;
Sue His mercy while you may;
Soon the day of grace is over,
Soon your life will pass away.--CHO.
