Lyrics

Hear the voice of Je­sus speak­ing to the soul,
In His blood so pre­cious He can make you whole;
He is kind­ly wait­ing for you to come in,
While the fount is op­en, won’t you step with­in?

Refrain

Won’t you step with­in? O won’t you step with­in?
While the fount is op­en, won’t you step with­in?

In the ways of Sa­tan you so long have trod;
Turn your back up­on him—put your trust in God;
Christ the migh­ty Con­quer­or now will help you win;
While the fount is op­en, won’t you step with­in?

Refrain

Do not long­er ling­er on the verge of woe,
While the Lord is beck­on­ing, glad­ly to Him go;
He will sure­ly save you from the maze of sin;
While the fount is op­en, won’t you step with­in?
