The voice of Je¤sus calls
“Why will you long¤er ¤stay
A¤far from God and hope
On Sin's dark treach¤’rous way?
Come un¤to Me, no long¤er roam,
I am the way to heav’n and home.”

Oh, heark¤en to His voice
So con¤de¤scend¤ing, ¤sweet,
There is a place of rest
For you at Je¤sus’ feet;
Oh, come and thou shalt par¤don’d be,
This is your op¤por¤tu¤ni¤ty.

Oh, Match¤less love, He waits,
His voice is call¤ing ¤still
To save your pre¤cious soul,
It is His Ho¤ly will.
For you His Pre¤cious blood was shed.
He suf¤fer’d in the sin¤ner's stead.

The door is o¤pen wide,
No hand can shut that ¤door;
Make haste and en¤ter now,
Oh come! we would im¤plore,
E¤ter¤nal glo¤ry thou shalt win,
His blood shall cleanse a¤way your sin.

O how shall you es¤cape,
If you de¤spise His ¤grace?
Re¤ject your Lord Di¤vine,
And hide from Him your face;
If now you cast His love a¤way,
How will you face the Judg¤ment Day?
