Lyrics

Now He will save you, now He will bless,
If all your vile­ness you but con­fess;
He will re­ceive you home to His breast,
If you are wea­ry, He’ll give you rest.

Now is God’s mer­cy of­fered to thee;
Now His sal­va­tion pre­cious and free;
Will you not take it? Turn not aside
From the love of­fered, and Him who died.

Now He be­seech­es you to be­lieve;
Now He is long­ing you to re­ceive;
Now light and dark­ness, Hea­ven and hell,
Lie each be­fore you, now choose ye well.
