LyicsSINNERS, the voice of God regard;
His mercy speaks to-day;
He calls you by his sovereign word,
From sin's destructive way.
Like the rough sea, that cannot rest,
You live devoid of peace;
A thousand stings within your breast,
Deprive your souls of ease.
Why will you in the crooked ways
Of sin and folly go?
In pain you travail all your days,
To reap immortal wo!
But he, who turns to God, shall live
Through his abounding grace:
His mercy will the guilt forgive,
Of those who seek his face.
Bow to the sceptre of his word,
Renouncing every sin;
Submit to him, your sovereign Lord,
And learn his will divine.
His love exceeds your highest thoughts
He pardons like a God!
He will forgive your numerous faults
Through our Redeemer's blood.
