Lyrics

Repent! ’tis the voice of Je­sus
Now sound­ing in your ear;
The mes­sage of God rings loud and clear,
Now seek Him, for He is near.

Refrain

Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved,
Repent! and be ye saved.

Repent! while the Lord in­vites you;
Before the Sav­ior fall;
The wag­es of sin is death to all
Who heed not the Gos­pel call.

Refrain

Repent! while the Ho­ly Spir­it
Is striv­ing with your soul;
The bur­den of sin on Je­sus roll,
Surrender to His con­trol.

Refrain

Repent! for the days are fly­ing;
The fi­nal hour draws nigh;
No plea­sure have I, saith God on high,
In see­ing the wic­ked die.

Refrain

Repent! for He made atone­ment;
He took the sin­ner’s place;
O turn to the Lord, and seek His face,
And trust in His sav­ing grace.
