If you will turn away from sin

If you will turn away from sin

Tune: MARLOW
Published in 17 hymnals


Representative Text

1 If you will turn away from sin
In childhood's early day,
The Lord will make you pure within,
And take your guilt away.

2 He'll show you all his matchless love,
He'll make you heirs of light,
And give you grace, that you may prove
Still faithful in his sight.

3 He'll lead you in the pleasant way
Of holiness and peace;
And guide you thus to endless day,
Where sin and sorrow cease.

4 O stay not in the road to death,
But to the Saviour come;
And, when you lose life's fleeting breath,
He'll send and take you home.
