If you know where to get a better photo of Johnston,
Repent, oh, repent, is the message
That rings from the Gospel today;
The voice is the voice of the Savior,
The Life and the Truth and the Way.
Refrain
Repent, oh, repent and believe Him,
Who offers full pardon today;
’Tis Jesus who bids you receive Him,
There’s no other way but this way.
Now hark to the call of the Master,
Repent, yes, repent and believe;
Come near to the Savior of sinners,
And life everlasting receive.
Refrain
You cannot undo what is over,
Nor make it the same as before;
True penitence grieves o’er the error,
Resolving to do so no more.
Refrain
Repentance will turn from wrongdoing,
To seek out the pathway of right,
And, trusting the mercy of Jesus,
Will walk in His glorious light.
Refrain
