Representative Text

1 When Christ our Saviour was here on earth,
And traveled its pathway o'er,
He said to a woman, whom he had healed,
"Go, daughter, and sin no more."

Chorus:
Sinner, the Saviour is calling to thee,
Calling thee o'er and o'er;
"Come, O poor sinner, now come unto me;
Come to me and sin no more."

2 Although the Saviour no longer walks
And teaches beside the shore,
Yet still he is calling, thro' his dear word,
For mortals to sin no more. [Chorus]

3 His pleadings heed, then he'll give to thee
Joy thou hast ne'er felt before;
If thou wilt but listen to his sweet call,
He'll help thee to sin no more. [Chorus]

4 Tho' while we're here, on this earth below,
We are tempted o'er and o'er,
When up in yon heaven we stand at last
With Christ, we will sin no more. [Chorus]
