Going Away Unsaved

Representative Text

1. Going away unsaved to-night,
Despising afresh the Word,
Loving darkness rather than light,
Under the wrath of God.

Refrain:
Going away unsaved,
Going away unsaved;
Still under the curse,
What can be worse?
Going away unsaved.

2. Going away unsaved to-night,
Grieving the Spirit away,
Farther than ever away from the light
Hardened by delay. [Refrain]

3. Going away unsaved and lost,
Oh, friend, and shall it be so?
Is that your choice? weigh well the cost,
E'er hence unsaved you go. [Refrain]
