My Spirit shall not always strive with man.

Words: A. Roten, in Voices for Christ, edited by Samuel W. Beazley (Corinth, Mississippi: R. L. Page Music, 1921).
Music: Thomas J. Farris (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know Roten’s full name, where to get a good photo of him (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Farris,
Oh, sinner, turn to Jesus now,
No longer make delay;
Since Jesus died on Calvary,
And opened up the way.
Refrain
Oh won’t you come to Jesus, be saved today,
He’s earnestly pleading for all;
The time will come when ’twill be too late,
Too late to answer the call.
The invitation is to you,
Oh, come without delay;
While Jesus pleads so tenderly,
Now won’t you come today?
Refrain
The Lord has been so good to you,
And saved you from all harm;
But still He says, My Spirit shall
Not always strive with man.
Refrain
The time will come, when Christ will say,
Your days on earth are o’er;
When you are doomed and cast away,
You’ll hear My voice no more.
