Look not be­hind thee, O sin­ner, be­ware;
Haste to the mount­ain, thy re­fuge is there;
Trust not the voic­es that lure thee to stay;
Jesus is call­ing thee, then why still de­lay?

Refrain

List to the warn­ing! No long­er re­main—
Fly from the val­ley, es­cape from the plain;
Turn from the voic­es that lure thee to stay,
Angels are call­ing thee, then why still de­lay?

Look not be­hind thee, O lost one, be­ware;
Why dost thou ling­er, ’twixt hope and des­pair?
Danger and dark­ness en­com­pass thy way;
Jesus is call­ing thee, then why still de­lay?

Refrain

Look not be­hind thee, the tempt­er is near;
Speed to the mount­ain, thy path­way is clear;
Jesus who loves thee is call­ing to­day—
Come to thy Fa­ther’s house, O why still de­lay?

Refrain
