The Sinner's Invitation

Representative Text

1. Sinner, go, will you go,
To the high land of heaven,
Where the storms never blow,
And the long summer's given,
Where the bright blooming flow'rs,
Are their odors emitting,
And the leaves of the bow'rs,
In the breezes are flitting.

Refrain:
Sinner go, will you go,
where there's rest for the blest,
In the highland of heaven?

2 Where the saints robed in white
Cleansed in life's flowing fountain,
Shining beauteous and bright,
They inhabit the mountain;
Where no sin nor dismay,
Neither trouble nor sorrow,
Will be felt for a day,
Nor be feared for the morrow. [Refrain]

3 He's prepared thee a home
Sinner canst thou believe it?
And invites thee to come
Sinner, wilt thou receive it?
Come, oh, come sinner, come,
For the tide is receding,
And the Savior will soon,
And forever, cease pleading. [Refrain]
