Afar off from God in the broad downward road,
The soul may have wandered, 'neath sin's heavy load;
Yet still there's a message for Gentile and Jew,
And this is its purport―There's a Savior for you.
Though burdened with sin, and though laden with care,
E'en yet there is hope and you need not despair
For Jesus has met all the penalty due,
And now, in the glory,―He's the Savior for you.
Oh, why quench your thirst at the rivers or earth
By drinking from streams of unsanctified mirth?
Oh, why not the world and its pleasures eschew,
And heed the glad tidings? There's a Savior for you!
Ah, soon will this day of God's favor be o'er,
When He will forever have shut to the door.
How bitterly then all the past you'll review
When hearing no longer There's a Savior for you!
