Run Not the Risk

O soul adrift and in des­pair

Oppressed with sin and doubt and care

While Je­sus pleads

His voice ob­ey;

Run not the risk ano­ther day!

Run not the risk

for none can tell

When you to earth must say fare­well;

Run not the risk

lest you shall stand

Unknown

con­demned

at God’s left hand.

He gave His life on Cal­va­ry

All guil­ty souls from sin to free;

O spurn Him not who for you died;

Run not the risk

whate’er be­tide.

O trust the Lord

for life is brief

And be not lost in un­be­lief;

Confess Him now with faith sin­cere

Run not the risk

for death is near.

Repent

be­lieve

and turn from sin;

O let the Lord of glo­ry in!

With par­don­ing grace He will en­dow;

Run not the risk

ac­cept Him now!
