The last call of mercy now lingers for thee

1The last call of mercy now lingers for thee;
O sinner, receive it; O Jesus is near;
He often has called thee—but thou hast refused;
His offered salvation and love are abused.

2O slight not the warning now offered at last,
Till summer is ended and harvest is passed;
Till mercy, long slighted, has left thy heart's door,
And pardon, sweet pardon, is offered no more.

3While Jesus is calling, O turn not away;
For swiftly approacheth the dread judgment day;
The Spirit invites you, O why will you roam?
Come now to life's waters, ye thirsty ones, come.

4The last call of mercy now lingers for thee;
O, break the strong fetters of sin, and be free!
The Bride is now calling, ye wanderers, come;
Accept of salvation, in heaven there's room.
