1 Weeping will not save you—
Though your face were bathed in tears—
That could not allay my fears—
Could not wash the sins of years!
Weeping will not save you.

Refrain:
Jesus wept and died for thee,
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make thee free;
He alone can save thee.

2 Working will not save you—
Purest deeds that I can do—
Holiest thoughts and feelings too,
Cannot form my soul anew—
Working will not save you. [Refrain]

3 Waiting will not save you—
Helpless, guilty, lost you lie;
In your ear is mercy’s cry;
If you wait you’ll surely die:
Waiting will not save you. [Refrain]

4 Faith in Christ will save you—
Sinner, trust God’s risen Son;
Trust the work that He has done;
To His arms now quickly run:
Faith in Christ will save you. [Refrain]

At the age of seventeen he joined the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, and soon became an active worker in the Sunday-school as teacher and chorister. At the age of twenty-two he gave himself to the work of the ministry, and entered upon a course of study at the University of Lewisburg, Pa. At the age of twenty-eight he was graduated with the highest honors of his class. In the same year of his graduation, he entered upon the work of the ministry.
