Go, little leaflet, tell to all
Who take you up to read
Of Jesus Christ the sinner’s Friend:
He is a Friend indeed.
Tell them that time is short, and life
Will quickly pass away,
And bid them, if they would be saved,
To seek the Lord today.
Oh, Fellow-sinner, heed my verse,
I cannot come to you, Hear,
“Now is the accepted time,”
Believe, God’s word is true.
Think not alone of those around,
The wicked and depraved,
But ask, Was it for me, Christ died?
Were my sins on him laid?
Isaiah 53
Twas for lost sinners Jesus came,
To seek, and bless, and save;
Am I among that number great?
May I his mercy crave?
Or have I come to Christ, through grace,
And learned His power divine
To pardon sin, to live to say
I know that Christ is mine.
These questions to yourself applied
Answer with thought sincere;
Nor be content until you see
This weighty matter clear.
2 Corinthians 13:5, first half.
If still unsaved, seek Jesus now,
While yet He may be found;
Call on Him, while He still is near,
To make His grace abound.
“Seek ye my face,” the Lord hath said,
Ye cannot seek in vain;
Thy face, Lord, will I seek at once,
Let your heart answer plain.
Psalms 27:8.
And they who seek shall never want
For anything that’s good;
For having Christ, they all things have,
If rightly understood.
As Moses in the wilderness
The brazen serpent raised,
And bid the dying look and live—
And all were healed who gazed;
Numbers 21:8, 9.
So look to Christ, the anti-type,
And thou shalt saved be,
From death, and hell, and every ill,
Now and eternally.
John 3:54. 15. Isaiah 45:22.
Put all your trust in His dear name,
That name of saving power;
Believe His word, and wait His will,
In joy or trouble’s hour.
So shall you find the perfect peace
Of trusting in His love;
And learn that we can here begin
The rest of heaven above.
Isaiah 26:3, 4.
The rest of trusting Christ for all;
The joy of being saved;
These are the gifts I wish for you,
The blessings which I craved.
For Jesus soon will come again,
According to His word;
Then they who love Him here shall be
Forever with the Lord.
John 14:3. 1 Thessalonians, 4:15-17.
And so I wrote these little lines
In hope that you might Lead,
And find the Lord as I have done,
A faithful friend indeed.
John 15:13, 14.
And now I pray God’s Spirit may
Teach you these precious truths;
And for the sake of Jesus Christ,
New life in you infuse.
John 3:3, 5-83Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)
5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:5‑8).
O do not careless cast aside
This message sent to you,
But search, as did the Bereans,
To find these things are true.
Go, little hymn, and should you pass
To one who knoweth well
The preciousness of Jesu’s blood,
Bid such its virtue tell.
And pass this little leaflet on,
That some one else may learn
How sweet it is to know the Lord,
And thus to Jesus turn.
Now may God’s blessing follow you
Wherever you may go;
And the precious texts referred to
Make hearts with praise o’erflow.
