The Last Call of Mercy
Author: Anon. Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: The last call of mercy now lingers for thee Lyrics: 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 past;
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 approaches the dread Judgment day:
The Spirit invites you, O why will you roam?
Come now to life's waters, ye thirsty ones, come. Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Special Selections Solos Used With Tune: [The last call of mercy now lingers for thee]

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12878 First Line: ’Tis the last call of mercy Lyrics: 1 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
That lingers for thee;
Oh! sinner, receive it;
To Jesus now flee!
He often has called thee,
But thou hast refused!
His offered salvation
And love are abused!
2 If thou slightest this warning,
Now offered at last,
Thine will be the sad mourning—
"The harvest is past,
Salvation I’ve slighted,
The summer is o’er,
And now there is pardon,
Sweet pardon, no more."
3 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, turn not away,
For now swiftly hasteth
The dread vengeance day!
The Spirit invites you,
And pleads with you, come!
Oh, come to life’s waters,
Nor thirstingly roam!
4 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, steel not thy heart,
For now she is rising,
From earth to depart!
The Bride is now calling—
"Ye thirsty souls, come!"
Oh, come with the ransomed,
In Heaven there’s room!
5 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
That lingers for thee,
Break away from thy bondage,
Oh, sinner, be free!
Be not a sad mourner,
"The harvest is past,
The summer is ended"—
And perish at last. Languages: English Tune Title: [’Tis the last call of mercy]

H. R. Palmer
1834 - 1907 Arranger of "[Only waiting till the shadows]" in Garnered Gems Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS. DOC, was born April 26, 1834. He is the author of several works on the theory of music; and the editor of some musical editions of hymnbooks. To the latter he contributed numerous tunes, some of which have attained to great popularity, and 5 of which are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, London, 1881.
His publications include Songs of Love for the Bible School; and Book of Anthems, the combined sale of which has exceeded one million copies. As a hymnwriter he is known by his "Yield not to temptation," which was written in 1868, and published in the National Sunday School Teachers' Magazine, from which it passed, with music by the author, into his Songs of Love, &c, 1874, and other collections. In America its use is extensive. Dr. Palmer's degree was conferred by the University of Chicago in 1880.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Last Call of Mercy" in Christ in Song In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

J. M. Hagan
1858 - 1933 Person Name: James Monroe Hagan Composer of "[’Tis the last call of mercy]" in The Cyber Hymnal DEACON JAMES MONROE HAGAN: Professor J. M. Hagan, as he was affectionately known, was born in Monroe County, Kentucky, on February 25, 1858, and was the son of James Fendel and Sarah Strode Hagan. He was reared under the most difficult circumstances but was able to work his way through the meager common schools, college and university. He followed the profession of teaching all of his life. His principal teaching was in High Schools in Warren, Munroe [sic], Metcalf [sic], Hart, and Daviess Counties, in Kentucky. He was head or joint head in Munroe [sic] Normal for many years located at Flippin, Kentucky; with Professor T. C. Gillianwaters. Altogether he taught for forty years.
Mr. Hagan married Miss Ella B. Evans of Tompkinsville, Kentucky, in 1892. One daughter, who died early in life, and one son, blessed this union. After the death of his first wife he married Miss Rubye Vance of Paducah, Kentucky, in 1907. Three sons, all of whom are now in the armed forces, blessed this second union.
He was an outstanding musician, receiving his musical training in Tompkinsville, Bowling Green Normal, Moody Bible Institute, and the Cincinnati College of Music. His first musical composition was written at the age of sixteen and over 800 of his hymns were published. He also edited two public school song books and was very active in putting music into the public schools. He taught countless numbers to sing and was associated with such authors as Bliss, Stebbins, Rodeheaver, Coleman, Showalter, Vaughn Brothers and others. For about five years he traveled with an outstanding male quartet.
He was converted at the age of fourteen and united with a Baptist Church. After holding membership in the Bowling Green and Owensboro First Churches for years he spent his last days in the Seven Hills Church where he served as Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, and Choir Director. He died in Owensboro, Kentucky, on January 25. 1933, and is buried here. This good man was Munroe [sic] County's greatest gift to the world.
