The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#56

56. Get Right with God

1 Whatever joys engross you,
Whatever cares oppress,
Whatever aims allure you,
Whatever ills distress;
Though skies are bright and sunny,
Or storms may be abroad,
There’s one surpassing duty:
Get right, get right with God.

Refrain:
Get right with God,
And do it now;
Get right with God,
He tells you how;
O come to Christ,
Who shed his blood,
And at the cross
Get right with God.

2 He’s waiting to be gracious;
He’s calling now to you,
Inviting you to pardon,
To mercies great and true.
O turn from every pleasure,
Lay every weight aside;
Get right with God this moment,
Thro’ Christ the crucified. [Refrain]

3 Perhaps you once confessed him,
And said you were his child;
But sadly you have wandered,
In pathways dark and wild.
The clouds of sin and sorrow
The heav’nly light bedim;
But still his Spirit lingers,
To draw you back to him. [Refrain]
