1 O speak to the sinners around you,
And help them the floodtide to stem;
O tell of the Saviour that found you,
And the love that is seeking for them.

Refrain:
No longer a moment delay,
But lead them to Him while you may;
For souls may be lost while you linger;
O hasten, and tell them today!

2 O tell them the Saviour is willing,
And lead them before Him to bow,
For, ev’ry sweet promise fulfilling,
He is waiting to bless even now. [Refrain]

3 O give them the kind invitation,
And tell them ‘tis madness to wait;
O tell them the news of salvation,
Before ‘tis forever too late. [Refrain]
