Lyrics

Are there with­in you base pas­sions rife,
Pride and vain­glo­ry, ran­cor and strife?
Heed, heed the call to the bet­ter life;
Get right, get right with God!

Refrain

Jesus of Na­za­reth stand­eth here,
Friend of the sin­ner, Sav­ior so dear;
Call ye up­on Him while He is near;
Get right, get right with God!

Why not let Je­sus your bur­dens bear?
Ye who are sink­ing in­to des­pair,
Lost for eter­ni­ty, O be­ware!
Get right, get right with God!

Refrain

Are you now long­ing for per­fect peace?
Would you from bond­age now have re­lease?
Seek ye the Lord e’er His plead­ings cease;
Get right, get right with God!

Refrain

Have you a mo­ther in yon­der home?
Think of her pray­ers and tears as you roam;
Hear her still plead­ing with you to come;
Get right, get right with God!
