Ye dying sons of men,
Emerged in sin and woe,
The gospel's voice attend,
While Jesus sent to you:
Ye perishing and guilty come.
In Jesus' arms there yet is room.
No longer now delay;
No vain excuses frame;
He bids you come to-day,
Though poor, and blind, and lame:
All things are ready, sinners, come!
For every trembling soul there's room.
Believe the heavenly word
His messengers proclaim;
He is a gracious Lord,
And faithful is his name;
Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off despair, there yet is room.
Drawn by his bleeding love,
Ye wandering sheep draw near:
Christ calls you from above —
The Shepherd's voice now hear!
Let whosoever will, now come;
In mercy's arms there still is room.
---Alternative verses---
Compelled by bleeding love,
Ye wandering souls draw near:
Christ calls you from above —
His charming accents hear!
Let whosoever will, now come;
In mercy's arms there still is room.
