Turn to Jesus

Sweet and won­drous is the sto­ry

Of our heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s love;

Sinner

can you slight it long­er?

Turn your heart to things ab­ove.

Sinner

turn

O turn to Je­sus

It is fol­ly to de­lay!

Heed to­day the call of mer­cy

Seek the bless­èd

up­ward way.

Things of time and sense are fleet­ing

Earthly plea­sures can­not last;

Just be­yond lies death’s dark riv­er

Then eter­ni­ty so vast!

Shun

O shun the sin and mad­ness

That has wrecked so ma­ny souls;

Life is but ex­tend­ed sor­row

Unless God the heart con­trols!

Not for­ev­er will He lin­ger

This dear friend

so good

so kind;

Love at last

re­mem­bers jus­tice

If the call you will not mind.

There is glad­ness in His serv­ice;

Light and joy and peace He gives;

Come and find the pre­cious com­fort

In the life the Christ­ian lives.
