The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#154

154. Mercy is Offered

1 Shall it ever be said unto you “too late?
For the door is now shut you have passed mercy’s gate,”
And the moment is passed that decided your fate—
Shall it ever be so with you?

Refrain:
Mercy is offered freely today,
Come now to Jesus,
Do not delay;
Come now to Jesus,
Come while you may,
Grace is now free for you.

2 Shall it ever be yours to appeal in vain,
For the mercy so easy today to obtain,
For the grace that removes from the soul every stain—
Shall it ever be so with you? [Refrain]

3 O, alas for the soul that shall some day wait
In the gloom of despair of a hopeless estate,
Outside of the glory-land—coming too late!
Shall it ever be so with you? [Refrain]
