Tune― “Press Forward.”
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 now there is hope, so you need not despair;
For JESUS has met all the penalty due
To sin, and, in glory, ―HE’s the Saviour for you.
Oh! why quench your thirst at the rivers of earth
By drinking from streams of unsanctified mirth?
Oh! why not the world and its pleasures eschew,
And heed the glad tidings—There’s a Saviour for
you?
A Saviour for you! ― Oh! how precious the word
That God hath declared Him both Saviour and
Lord!
He’s done all the work God assigned Him to do,
And now rest assured―There’s a Saviour for you.
Ah! soon will this day of God’s favor be o’er,
When He will forever have shut to the door,
How bitterly, then, all the past you’ll review,
In hearing NO LONGER―There’s a Saviour for you.
