The last call of mercy now lingers for thee

1

The last call of mercy now lingers for thee;O sinner, receive it; to Jesus now flee!He often has called thee—but thou hast refused;His offered salvation and love are abused.

2

O slight not the warning now offered at last,Till summer is ended and harvest is passed;Till mercy, long slighted, has left thy heart's door,And pardon, sweet pardon, is offered no more.

3

While Jesus is calling, O turn not away;For swiftly approacheth the dread judgment day:The Spirit invites you, O why will you roam?Come now to life's waters, ye thirsty ones, come.

4

The last call of mercy now lingers for thee;O, break the strong fetters of sin, and be free!The Bride is now calling; ye wanderers, come;Accept of salvation, in heaven there 's room.
