274. Sinner, wake, no more delay

1 Sinner, wake, no more delay,
Wake to duty, "watch and pray,"
Haste to run the heavenly way,
Jesus bids thee come.

Chorus:
Lord be merciful,
To Thy children now,
Oh, come and make us all Thine own,
At Thy feet we bow.

2 Careless sinner, on the tree,
Now thy dear Redeemer see,
Bleeding, groaning all for thee,
Hark, He bids thee come. [Chorus]

3 Wilt thou still His spirit grieve,
Precious soul repent believe,
Now His offered love receive,
Jesus bids thee come [Chorus]

4 Come with all thy guilt oppressed.
Come and find eternal rest,
Come and be forever blest.
Jesus bids thee come. [chorus]
