Traveler, turn, O turn thee backward,
Dangers lie on every side;
Do not trust a single moment
To thy false and treacherous guide.
Come to him, thy only Saviour,
Come to him, thy truest friend;
Come to him who ne'er deceives thee,
But will keep thee to the end.
Traveler, see, the way grows darker,
Piercing winds around thee blow
One more step, perhaps, may plunge thee
Into ruin, wreck, and woe.
Come to him, thy only Saviour,
Come to him, thy truest friend;
Come to him who ne'er deceives thee,
But will keep thee to the end.
Thou art hungry, yet thy Father
Hath a feast prepared for thee;
Thou art thirsty, yet the fountain
Of his love thou wilt not see.
Come to him, thy only Saviour,
Come to him, thy truest friend;
Come to him who ne'er deceives thee,
But will keep thee to the end.
Traveler, now the time accepted.
Come thou quickly, haste away;
There's no promise for the morrow,
Mercy calls, and calls to-day.
Come to him, thy only Saviour,
Come to him, thy truest friend;
Come to him who ne'er deceives thee,
But will keep thee to the end.
