Lyrics

Tell me, dear sin­ner, O tell me today,
Why do you wan­der in sin?
Come to the fold of the Sav­ior of men,
Jesus will wel­come you in.

Refrain

Tell me, dear sin­ner, I pray,
Why not make Je­sus your choice?
Why not pre­pare for the great judg­ment day?
Angels above will re­joice.

Judgment is com­ing, is com­ing to all;
Sinner, why long­er de­lay?
Come to the fold of the Sav­ior of men,
Come to Him, sin­ner, to­day.

Refrain

Why do you lin­ger, O sin­ner, to­day?
Jesus still knocks at thy heart;
Will you ac­cept Him, be­lieve and ob­ey?
Will you from ev­il de­part?
