Oh why, sinner, languish in darkness and sin?
Why perish with hunger when Christ calls you in
To feast at the banquet His grace has prepared?
Why should ceaseless blessings be longer deferred?
From gracious beseechings, oh, turn not away,
But come now to Jesus, no longer delay—
To HIM who from heavenly glory came forth
To die for the guilty, to save them from wrath.
The Savior will welcome, so none need despair,
For all in His bountiful pardon may share;
The heart-broken sinner He'll never cast out;
He lovingly welcomes—oh why longer doubt?
How rich is the mercy which calls you to comet
How great the provision! Oh why longer roam?
For God can be just, and can now justify;
So sue now for mercy! Through Jesus draw nigh.
IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN
ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER
BEHOLD, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED
TIME; BEHOLD, NOW IS THE DAY
