The Sav¤iour calls so ear¤nest¤ly,
As on to death you’re speed¤ing,
Will you not heark¤en to His voice,
As with your soul He’s plead¤ing?

Chorus:
He wept and prayed in a¤go¤ny,
He bore your sins on Cal¤va¤ry.
He ¤drank the ¤cup,
Death’s bit¤ter cup, for ¤thee.
He drank the cup

If you re¤ject the Sav¤iour’s love,
How sad will be your end¤ing,
To hear those words, “De¤part from me.”
Your soul and spir¤it rend¤ing.

How fear¤ful then the sin¤ner’s doom,
And oh, what weep¤ing, wail¤ing,
Their day for grace is past and gone,
And prayers are un¤a¤vail¤ing.

The Sav¤iour longs to be your friend,
And ban¤ish gloom and sad¤ness,
He of¤fers you e¤ter¤nal life,
His peace and joy and glad¤ness.

He died to save your price¤less soul
From end¤less woe and sor¤row,
Oh, yield your heart your life to Him,
Wait not un¤til the mor¤row.
