LyicsLISTEN to the gospel, telling
How the Lord was crucified;
How upon the cross He suffer'd,
When He bow'd His head and died,
All for sinners!
Come, then, to His bleeding side.
Listen to the gospel calling!
Hear, O sinner, and obey!
Come to Jesus, He will save you;
Now, no longer stay away.
He invites you;
Sinner then make no delay.
Listen to the gospel, blessing
All who trust the Saviour's love;
And to those who now obey Him,
Bringing pardon from above;
Careless sinner,
Will you still refuse to move?
Listen to the gospel warning;
All who stay away must die;
Come, then, while all things are ready,
Mercy calls you from on high;
Come and welcome
Hear, O hear the Saviour cry!
