LyicsSINNER, hear the invitation
Sent in mercy from above;
Come, receive this great salvation,
Purchas'd by redeeming love.
Jesus calls in sweet compassion,
Come, you weary souls, to me;
Sinner, heed the invitation;
Rise forthwith, He calleth thee.
On the cursed cross-tree bleeding,
Hear the stricken Lamb of God
For transgressors interceding,
While they shed His precious blood.
Hear that dying intercession,
Offer'd on the bloody tree;
He will pardon your trangression;
Rise forthwith, He calleth thee.
Sinner, soon the day of favor
Will forever pass away;
Hasten to the bleeding Saviour,
Hasten while it is to-day;
He will comfort all your sorrow,
Set your burden'd spirit free;
Wait not for the coming morrow;
Rise forthwith, He calleth thee.
Come, the Saviour will receive you;
Come, with all your wants and wounds;
He is ready to relieve you;
Come, His favor still abounds,
Hear the gospel invitation:
"Come, ye weary souls, to me!"
Jesus offers full salvation;
Rise forthwith, He calleth thee.
