TO you be it known,
That JESUS ALONE,
Can SAVE a poor sinner from hell!
His life-blood was spilled,
To cleanse from all guilt;
The vilest He will not repel.
A Saviour you NEED,
From sin to be freed,
If heav’n with its joys you would gain!
A sinner confess’d,
You NOW may be bless’d,
And life everlasting obtain.
It is not by works;
It is not by tears;
It is not by penance nor pray’rs:
It’s through the work DONE,
By God’s blessed Son,
Salvation to ALL God declares.
O turn not away,
For brief is thy day,
And JUDGMENT IS COMING apace!
For Christ NOW decide;
For sinners He died,
And lingers in infinite grace.
But soon He’ll appear!
The moment is near,
When Jesus from heav’n will deecend:
His OWN He will take,
Asleep or awake,
Eternity with Him to spend.
But those who are left,
Of hope then bereft,
What sorrow and anguish await!
The Saviour they’ll see;
THEIR JUDGE, He Will be;
For mercy they’ll plead, but—TOO LATE!!
