To-day the Saviour calls:Ye wanderers come;O ye benighted souls,Why longer roam?

To-day the Saviour calls!O listen now;Within these sacred walls,To Jesus bow.

To-day the Saviour calls!For mercy flee;For all the guilty soonMust guilty be.

To-day the Saviour calls!For refuge fly;The storm of vengeance falls;Ruin is nigh.

The Spirit calls to-day!Yield to its power;O grieve it not away;'T is mercy's hour.
