Not far from the king­dom of Hea­ven,
Its glo­ries gleam faint on thy sight;
Thou’rt just on the bor­ders of Ca­naan,
But oh, there is dan­ger tonight.

Refrain

Flee the dan­ger, the dan­ger,
Oh, en­ter the ha­ven of rest;
Flee the dan­ger, to Je­sus return,
Oh, come and for­ev­er be blest.

The pow­er of the tempt­er grows strong­er,
God’s plead­ing you soon may not hear;
The way to the king­dom grows long­er,
While thus you stand doubt­ing in fear.

Refrain

O bro­ther, no long­er stand wait­ing
But come to the blest mer­cy seat;
Oh, hast­en, the storm now is rag­ing,
The bor­ders may sing ’neath thy feet.

Refrain

Thy Sav­ior is ear­nest­ly call­ing,
In ac­cents so ten­der and strong,
Oh, can you re­sist all His plead­ings,
Or slight of­fered mer­cy too long?

Refrain
