Hymn/Song Information

Listen sinner to the voice of thy reason

Listen, sinner, to the voice
Of thy reason’s noble choice,
For thy better judgment
calls thee to repent;
Reason tells thee there’s a God,
Bids thee tremble at His word,
And invites thee to
the Savior He has sent.

Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

There’s conviction in thy heart
That from sin you should depart,
Oh, that monitor in mercy do obey;
’Tis a canker in thy breast
That will never let thee rest,
If you do not turn
from sin’s destructive way.

Refrain.
Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Jesus came, the Son of God,
Shed for you His precious blood,
Oh, behold Him dying
on the cursed tree!
Can you slight His love so true,
Holding out a crown for you?
Hasten, sinner, Christ is calling
loud for thee.

Refrain.
Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Jesus comes in melting love,
Drawing you to joys above,
Gently knocking for
admittance in thy soul;
Harken to His voice within,
Warning thee to flee from sin,
To the kingdom of the Savior’s
sweet control.

Refrain.
Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Heaven wills to thee a crown,
Hell is moved to cast thee down,
And this moment may decide
thy endless state;
Father, Son, and Spirit call,
Reason, conscience, thunder all,
Sinner, wake and turn to God
before too late.

Refrain.
Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.

Come and be saved,
come and be saved,
Take the cross and you shall wear
a starry crown.
