Heirs of wrath and go¤ing down¤ward,
Sad, how ver¤y sad your plight,
Slight¤ing God, re¤fus¤ing mer¤cy,
Lov¤ing dark¤ness, hat¤ing light.

Chorus:
Oh, es¤cape to Je¤sus now,
Lin¤ger not we would im¤plore,
God may shut the o¤pen door.

Je¤sus left His Fa¤ther’s bo¤som,
In a man¤ger low was laid,
Lived for you and in the gar¤den
Ag¤o¤nised and wept and prayed.

Heirs of wrath– but Je¤sus loves you,
Gave His life your soul to save,
He a¤lone is your sal¤va¤tion,
And your hope be¤yond the grave.

Je¤sus is God’s way to heav¤en,
God’s e¤ter¤nal truth and life.
Oh, for¤sake earth’s emp¤ty wor¤ship,
Shame and form and dead¤ly strife.

God is near in Spir¤it, striv¤ing,
Oh, be ear¤nest, count the cost.
Come and taste His sweet for¤give¤ness;
Why, oh why should you be lost?
