’Tis the last call of mer­cy,
Of So­dom’s judg­ment came,
They glim­mer or they pass.
Half in­clined to go away;
And ech­oes from the an­gels’ chime
I fill there my cup ev­ery morn­ing—
Have faith in God, and wait;
The ho­ly night of Je­sus’ birth.
And re­fuse to seek His face,
And sad—so sad—
The sha­dows now grow long;
The gate of the op­en fold;
We’ll nev­er say good­bye.

lin­ger

I will arise and away.
O sin­ner, to Je­sus draw nigh;
’Tis the place of hum­ble pray­er,
Haste we now with foot­step free,
When Je­sus is rea­dy to save?
Where I see the crim­son seal,
When Je­sus is rea­dy to save?
Oh! sin­ner, re­ceive it;
Was pulled from out the flame.
To call them back; ’twere vain;
Harden not thy heart to­day.
And float up­on the stream of time.
I nev­er shall wea­ry of liv­ing
He nev­er comes too late.
To lin­ger still, o’er vale and hill;
You may grieve Him to de­part.
O make us glad.
To sing our lat­est song.
His love can­not be told.
When loved ones cross death’s sea,
