59. The Last Call

1 Hear. O sinner, mercy hails you,
Now with sweetest voice she calls;
Bids you haste to seek the Savior,
Ere the hand of justice falls.
Hear, O sinner! hear, O sinner!
'Tis the voice of mercy calls,
Hear, O sinner! hear, O sinner!
Ere the hand of justice falls.

2 Hear, O sinner, hear him pleading,
Pleading now with thee to come;
Leave behind thee all thy sorrow,
Come to Jesus, sinner, come.
Hear, O sinner! hear, O sinner!
Still the dews of mercy fall,
Hear, O sinner! hear, O sinner!
Hear the loving Savior call.

3 Haste, O sinner, to the Savior,
Seek his mercy while you may;
Soon the day of grace is over,
Soon your life will pass away,
Haste, O sinner! haste, O sinner!
Soon your life will pass away,
Haste, O sinner! haste, O sinner!
You must perish if you stay.
