Thou wilt not turn to Me.
On his way from Heav’n this morn,
Will you re­ceive, or His mer­cy re­ject?
In the sac­red still­ness,
Nor ven­ture forth to your la­bors
Some rule of life with which to guide my feet;
What means this eth­er-rang­er
How deep the pain, how near the brink,
Whisper a pray­er at the noon­time,
Of the gold­en street,
When your weary feet fal­ter on the path,
And for all His blood-bought my­ri­ads,
Of that long, long night of pain,
O sin­ner, come to Je­sus now.
That dis­turb our dai­ly life,
In the noon­tide, calm and peace­ful,
Ocean floods have lift their roar;
For my Christ is rising up to water you.
Of he­roes’ sac­ri­fice.
Shall leave their prints no more along the way,

Pause

Pause, ere it be too late;
’Mong the blos­soms of the thorn:
Choose ye to­day.
In the morn­ing, noon and ev­en­ing,
Draw near to God in the morn­ing,
God’s will, God’s will to know,
There beams above a man­ger
He knows it all!
Look un­to Him who can con­quer all sin,
Rest not wea­ry feet.
Would you find the stress of the noon grow less?
Matchless Lov­er!
For an an­swer­ing tone again.
Of the Sav­ior to­night;
Then the sound of His dear voice
Ere the sun in all its glo­ry
Now they burst up­on the shore.
While within me there’s a rich and living flow,
The gifts of love and life.
No more to stray.
