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.
