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?
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?
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;
The tempter is near;
Speed to the montain,
Thy pathway is clear:
Jesus who loves thee
Is calling today:
Come to thy Father’s house—
Oh, why still delay?
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?
