117. Children, hear the melting story

1 Children, hear the melting story
Of the Lamb that once was slain:
'Tis the Lord of life and glory;
Shall he plead with you in vain?

Chorus:
Turn to the Lord, and seek salvation;
Sound the praise of his great name;
Glory, honor, and redemption,
Christ, the Lord, has come to reign.

2 Yield no more to sin and folly,
So displeasing in his sight;
Jesus loves the pure and holy,
They alone are his delight.

3 All your sins to him confessing
Who is ready to forgive;
Seek the Saviour's richest blessing,
On his precious name believe.
