Flee the Danger

lyricist: Sarah Holsinger, 1898
Composer: George Holsinger

Not far from the king­dom of Heav­en

Its glo­ries gleam faint on thy sight;

Thou’rt just on the bor­ders of Ca­naan

But oh

there is dan­ger tonight.

Flee the dan­ger

the dan­ger

Oh

en­ter the hav­en of rest;

Flee the dan­ger

to Je­sus return

Oh

come and for­ev­er be blest.

The pow­er of the tempt­er grows strong­er

God’s plead­ing you soon may not hear;

The way to the king­dom grows long­er

While thus you stand doubt­ing in fear.

O bro­ther

no long­er stand wait­ing

But come to the blest mer­cy seat;

Oh

hast­en

the storm now is rag­ing

The bor­ders may sing ’neath thy feet.

Thy Sav­ior is ear­nest­ly call­ing

In ac­cents so ten­der and strong

Oh

can you re­sist all His plead­ings

Or slight of­fered mer­cy too long?
