WHAT millions have been sav'd
From Gentiles and from Jews!
The gospel banner o'er them wav'd,
And they believ'd the news.
They're kept, in boundless grace,
For endless bliss and bloom;
For them has Christ prepared a place,
And yet there's room.
The message issues forth
Far as the world extends,
To west and east, to south and north,
Its joyous way it wends;
It bears its heav'nly light
To realms of night and gloom,
And hosts are sav'd for glory bright;
And yet there's room.
In Britain's favored land,
The glad and cheerful sound
Is echoed loud on ev'ry hand,
And welcomes all around.
But though it flows like waves,
Let no one dare presume;
Not hearing, but believing, saves,
While yet there's room.
Thou mayst be hoar and old,
And speak with trembling tongue;
Or be with manly vigor bold;
Or blithesome, frail, and young.
Whate'er thine age or state,
Death claims thee for the tomb;
But mercy still on thee doth wait,
For yet there's room.
The Lord will quickly come,
Salvation's day be o'er,
Despisers be with terror dumb,
And perish evermore.
But now, while card today,
Flee far from grief and gloom,
To Jesus haste, make no delay;
For yet there's room.
Dost thou thyself excuse,
As one was done by some,
The proffer'd blessing still refuse,
And say, thou canst not come?
Then judgment thou dost take,
And dreadful is thy doom;
But, oh! from thy delusion wake,
While yet there's room.
“IGNORANCE is generally confident because it is ignorant; and such is the mind of man in dealing with the things of God.”
