TURN TO JESUS

Sweet and wondrous is the story
Of our heavenly Father’s love;
Sinner, can you slight it longer?
Turn your heart to things above.

Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus,
It is folly to delay!
Heed today the call of mercy,
Seek the blessèd, upward way.

Things of time and sense are fleeting,
Earthly pleasures cannot last;
Just beyond lies death’s dark river,
Then eternity so vast!

Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus,
It is folly to delay!
Heed today the call of mercy,
Seek the blessèd, upward way.

Shun, O shun the sin and madness
That has wrecked so many souls;
Life is but extended sorrow
Unless God the heart controls!

Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus,
It is folly to delay!
Heed today the call of mercy,
Seek the blessèd, upward way.

Not forever will He linger,
This dear friend, so good, so kind;
Love at last, remembers justice,
If the call you will not mind.

Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus,
It is folly to delay!
Heed today the call of mercy,
Seek the blessèd, upward way.

There is gladness in His service;
Light and joy and peace He gives;
Come and find the precious comfort
In the life the Christian lives.

Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus,
It is folly to delay!
Heed today the call of mercy,
Seek the blessèd, upward way.
