Linger not in paths of sin ;
Sever every tie that binds you,
And the heavenly race begin.
Calling now, . . calling now, . .
Hear the Saviour calling now ; . .
Calling now, . . calling now, . .
Hear the Saviour calling now.
2 Come, oh, come, while Christ is
pleading ;
Oh, what love His tones convey !
Will you slight His proffered mercy,
Will you longer from Him stray ?
3 Come, oh, come, delay no longer,
For th' accepted time is now ;
Yield, oh, yield yourself to Jesus,
And before His sceptre bow.
