LyicsBrethren, see poor sinners round you,
Slumbering on the brink of woe;
Far from God and unconverted;
Can you bear to see it so?
There are fathers--there are mothers,
And their children sinking down;
Brethren, go, exhort poor sinners,
Speak the word to all around.
Brethren, there's the poor backslider,
Who was once at heaven's door;
Bid him not betray his Saviour,
And be worse than e'er before.
Now his Saviour offers pardon,
If he will reform and turn;
Brethren, go, exhort the sinner;
Speak the word to all around.
Sisters, will you join and help us?
Moses' sister helped him;
Will you seek the trembling mourners
Who are laboring hard with sin?
Tell them all about the Saviour;
Tell them that he will be found;
Sisters, go exhort the mourner-
Speak the word to all around.
Let us love our Lord supremely,
Let us love each other too;
Let us love and work for sinners,
Till our Lord makes all things new.
Then, when we get home to heaven,
At his table we'll sit down;
Christ will gird himself and serve us,
With sweet manna all around.
