Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXIV (1791) Lyrics: 1 Deserters, to the Camp return,
Resume your former post,
Bewail your Crimes, your Baseness mourn;
For yet Ye are not lost.
2 Your's is a sad a dang'rous Case,
Be humble, and repent;
Mercy you'll find, tho' e'er so base,
The Moment you relent.
3 Sinners are sav'd by Jesu's Blood,
How vile so e'er thy be;
Eternal Life's the Gift of God;
And Gifts are always free.
4 'Tis not by Works of Righteousness
Which any Man has done;
But God has sent his Son to bless;
Return, and kiss the Son. Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Languages: English
