Turn not away from the heav’n­ly word,
Spurn not the mes­sage your ears have heard,
But yield your heart to the Sav­ior’s care,
And in His ser­vice and His glo­ry share.

Refrain

Long He has wait­ed, long He has striv­en,
Time af­ter time this mes­sage He’s giv­en;
Hear now and heed it with heart bowed down,
And o’er the cross see the gold­en crown.

Turn not away from the gen­tle voice,
Hear ye His call, in His love re­joice.
Happy are all who His call ob­ey,
Blessèd the feet who walk His ho­ly way.

Refrain
