1To - day the Sav - iour calls; Ye wan - d'rers come; O ye be - night - ed souls, Why long - er roam?
2To - day the Sav - iour calls; O lis - ten now! With - in these sa - cred walls To Je - sus bow.
3To - day the Sav - iour calls; For ref - uge fly; The storm of jus - tice falls, And death is nigh.
4The spir - it calls to - day; Yield to his pow'r; O grieve him not a - way; 'Tis mer - cy's hour.
