Wilt thou come, or wilt thou linger?
‘Tis the Saviour calls;
Death and darkness are about thee,
Sin enthralls.
Wilt thou come? for still is mercy
Pleading for thy soul;
Heavenly voices leading onward
To the goal.
Thou may’st come! the vilest sinner
May in Christ confide;
Thou art welcome, for to save thee
Jesus died.
Night of wrath did shroud the Saviour,
But ‘tis light for thee;
Sacred spot for sin-stained sinners,
Calvary!
See the blood, and hear Him speaking
Of redemption done;
And on glory’s heights behold Him,
God’s own Son.
Hear Him speak the word of pardon;
Trust in Him who died;
And thy heart shall lose its burden
By His side.
