E1:Who will join the throng to hea_ven?/Come, our Sa_vior cal_leth thee./Come while time to thee is gi_ven,/Humb_ly bow to Him the knee./Turn from sin thy face a_way,/With the world no long_er stray;/Great_er things thy soul must trea_sure/Than the world's vain lust and plea_sure.
|
||
E2:Hast thou spent thy days in chas_ing/Phan_tom plea_sures lu_ring thee?/Hast thou fond_ly been em_brac_ing/Sin with all its a_go_ny?/Oh, then turn to Cal_va_ry,/Let the cross thy so_lace be,/With a heart cont_rite and low_ly/Give thy_self to Je_sus whol_ly.
|
||
E3:He a_lone can safe_ly guide thee/On the way to yon_der shore,/Thou art safe with Him be_side thee,/Who hath help for thee in store,/But with_out Him thou shalt fail;/All thy wis_dom, like a tale,/In the fin_al test shall pe_rish;/Je_sus on_ly thou must che_rish.
|
||
E4:Come, ye Chris_tians, storms de_fy_ing,/Cou_rage take from God a_bove,/While on Him a_lone re_ly_ing,/One in faith, in hope, in love./Keep ye Je_sus e_ver near/And His ho_ly name re_vere./Help the weak and err_ing broth_er,/And in love serve one a_no_ther.
|
||
E5:It is time that we be start_ing,/Death is swift_ly draw_ing nigh;/Time, that we should be de_part_ing/For a place with Christ on high./Take His cross and start to_day,/For we dare not risk de_lay;/Come while time to thee is gi_ven;/Who will join the throng to hea_ven?
