Afar off from God
In the broad, downward road,
The soul may have wandered,
Neath sin’s heavy load;
Yet still there’s a message
For Gentile and Jew,
And this is its purport—
There’s a Saviour for you.
Though burdened with sin,
And though laden with care,
E’en yet there is hope
And you need not despair;
For Jesus has met
All the penalty due.
And now in the glory
He’s the Saviour for you.
Ah, soon will this day
Of God’s favor be o’er,
When He will forever
Have shut tight the door.
How bitterly then
All the past you’ll review,
When hearing no longer,
There’s a Saviour for you!
