The Last Chance

lyricist: George LeClere, 1895
Composer: O. E. Mattox

Do you hear the voice of God

As He call­eth now to thee?

Hear Him speak in ten­der­est tones

As He calls to mer­cy free;

Oft He calls thee to His breast

And He of­fers to thy soul

Weary with its bur­den

rest

sweet rest.

There is a last chance for sal­va­tion

Do you not hear Him ten­der­ly call­ing—

Urgently call­ing

long He has wait­ed

Turn

O sin­ner

ere it is too late.

Many times the voice has come

Calling thee from paths of sin;

Knocking at the heart’s door loud

Pleading that you let Him in;

Yet you’ve turned Him from your heart

By your sin you’ve barred the door;

You have caused the Spir­it to de­part.

Now’s the time to let Him in

While He calls to thee to­day;

Open wide the heart’s door now

Ere He turns from thee away;

All the lost souls now that die

In the land of deep des­pair

Let their last chance to be saved pass by.

Now I see my life’s mis­take

And I’m com­ing to the Lord

It is now the time to come

So I read His bless­èd Word;

Now I come my heart to cast

At the bless­èd Sav­ior’s feet

For I fear this chance will be the last.
