Careless soul,
Thy Saviour sees thee;
Don’t hold back!
Yearns till from
thy thrall He frees thee;
Don’t hold back!
Sin, long cherished,
claims and shames thee,
When aroused,
thy conscience blames thee,
Thou art lost till Christ reclaims thee;
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Anxious soul,
thy Saviour knows thee;
Don’t hold back!
Should temptation
still oppose thee;
Don’t hold back!
Death, delayed,
will soon o’ertake thee,
Then, when earthly
friends forsake thee,
None but Christ
to heaven can take thee;
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Stricken soul,
thy Saviour calls thee;
Don’t hold back!
Though thy guilty fear appals thee;
Don’t hold back!
Now the Lord of life
has found thee,
He will break
the chains that bound thee,
With the arms
of love surround thee;
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Pardoned soul,
thy Saviour woos thee;
Don’t hold back!
In His service He would use thee;
Don’t hold back!
Though the hosts of hell assail thee,
His protection ne’er shall fail thee,
Till as victor heaven shall hail thee;
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Ransomed soul,
thy Saviour heeds thee;
Don’t hold back!
When to pastures green He leads thee
Don’t hold back!
Onward, upward, He will guide thee,
Every needful good provide thee,
Keeping ever close beside thee;
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Gracious soul,
thy Saviour owns thee;
Don’t hold back!
Till, triumphant, he enthrones thee;
Don’t hold back!
Death’s dark stream
may lie before thee,
Angel guards are watching o’er thee;
Loved ones, glorified, called for thee:
Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!
Happy soul, thy Saviour loves thee;
Don’t hold back!
And when He in mercy proves thee
Don’t hold back!
He to save and sanctify thee.
Grace for grace will not deny thee;
When He comes to glorify thee
Don’t hold back!
