192. Sinner, hear the voice of love

1 Sinner, hear the voice of love;
Sweet the message from above,
He will all thy sin remove,
Christ the Saviour passeth by.

2 Come, while life is in its prime.
Now is the accepted time;
Come before the sun decline--
Christ the Saviour passeth by.

3 Come, thou youthful, trusting one,
In life's early spring-time come.
Haste, while in thy glowing bloom--
Christ the Saviour passeth by.

4 Come, with sin and doubt oppressed,
Early hasten to be blest,
He will grant you peace and rest--
Christ, the Saviour passeth by.

5 Mourner, lift thy tearful eye,
Cease thy anguish, hush thy sigh;
List--a voice sounds from the sky--
Christ the Saviour passeth by.

6 God, the Spirit, hovereth near;
God, the Father, answereth prayer;
Now the voice of mercy hear--
Christ the Saviour passeth by.
