Jesus Died On A Cross—Oh, What Awful Cost!—
That He Might From Sin’s Blight Save Us, Sinners Lost;
Harken, Soul, Hear Him Call, Open Wide The Door,
Taste And See Love So Free, Yours Forevermore;
Still He Waits Patiently, Pleading One More Time:
Now Believe, Now Receive Saving Grace Sublime.

In This World We Will Have Burdens Hard To Bear:
Jesus Came Cares To Claim, And Our Sorrows Share;
Weary Soul, Come To Christ, Give Him All Your Woes—
In Him Find Peace Of Mind, Rest, Relief, Repose;
When The Waves, Tossing Wild, Seem To Speak An End,
There, Until “Peace, Be Still,” Faithful Stands A Friend.

Sinful Soul, Idle Not, Time Is Passing By,
Be Not Blind, Sin Will Bind Tighter And For Aye;
Ere Thy Heart Harder Grows, Won’t You Heed The Call?
Won’t You Choose? Don’t Refuse Mercy Free For All;
Savior Sent, Still He Stands, Sacrifice From Heaven,
Gift So Great—Do Not Wait, Come And Be Forgiven.

Lord, I Come, Come To Thee, Bringing All My Sin,
Thou Alone Can Atone, Wash Me White Within;
Sin’s Desires I Have Fed I Do Now Forsake,
Satan’s Hold, Though Of Old, I Would Ever Break;
This I Cry, Hopeful, And, As I Cross The Line,
Set My Will; Thou Fulfill, Save And Make Me Thine.
