Get right with God, why will you die?
Oh, weary one, for mercy cry;
No longer walk the downward road;
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Refrain
Get right with God; get right with God;
Oh, come away, get right with God;
No longer walk the downward road;
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Get right with God—for you Christ died,
On Calvary’s cross was crucified;
His side was pierced, blood from it flowed;
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Refrain
Get right with God, He loves you so;
No mother’s love could stoop so low;
On Christ He laid sin’s heavy load,
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Refrain
Get right with God, your loved ones said
When lying on their dying bed;
But ah! you’ve wandered far abroad,
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Refrain
Get right with God, confess your sin,
And let the dear Redeemer in;
He hath for you the winepress trod,
Oh, come away, get right with God.
Refrain
