Text:The sinner's call
Tune:THE SINNER'S CALL

151. The sinner's call

1 Return and come to God;
Cast all your sins away;
Seek ye the Saviour's cleansing blood;
Repent, believe, obey.

2 Say not, ye cannot come--
For Jesus bled and died,
That none who ask in humble faith
Should ever be denied.

3 Say not, ye will not come--
'Tis God vouchsafes to call,
And fearful shall their end be found,
On whom his wrath shall fall.

4 Come then, whoever will,
Come, while 'tis call'd to-day:
Flee to the Saviour's cleansing blood;
Repent, believe, obey.
