Dying Souls, Fast Bound in Sin

Dying souls

fast bound in sin

Trembling and re­pin­ing

With no ray of light di­vine

On your path­way shin­ing;

Why in dark­ness wan­der on

Filled with con­ster­na­tion?

Jesus lives—in Him alone

Can you find sal­va­tion.

Worthless all your right­eous­ness;

You the law have brok­en;

Flee

then

to His sov­er­eign grace

Mercy thus has spok­en;

Why

in deeds that you have done

Seek for con­so­la­tion?

Jesus lives—in Him alone

Can you find sal­va­tion.

Prostrate bow

con­fess your guilt

Own your lost con­di­tion!

Yield to Him whose blood was spilt

Unreserved sub­mis­sion:

Then no more in ang­uish groan;

Seek His me­di­ation;

Jesus lives—in Him alone

Can you find sal­va­tion.

Linger not on all the plain:

Vengeance is pur­su­ing;

Midst the dy­ing and the slain

Save your souls from ruin:

Flee to Him who can atone;

Flee from con­dem­na­tion;

Jesus lives—in Him alone

Can you find sal­va­tion.
