1.In darkness I lingered 'mid doubt and despair,Sin's bondage long held me a captive to care;But Jesus delivered my soul from its chains,His precious blood cleans'd me from sin's guilty stains.Chorus:Get right with God!His pardon is free,Get right with God,He's waiting for thee;Our Jesus is calling, "Oh, come unto me!"Take Him, O sinner, and get right with God.2.The world and its pleasures did tempt me to stray,I saw not the danger that lurk'd on the way;The toils clos'd around me, I knew no release,But Jesus has found me and giv'n me His peace. [Chorus]3.The pathway to Calv'ry is toilsome and hard,Yet tread it, O faint me, and find thy reward;Here lay down thy burden, and wash in the streamThat flows like a fountain thy soul to redeem. [Chorus]4.Repent while He calls thee, while yet it is day,Take with thee His gift of free pardon away;Take Christ for thy Saviour, Redeemer, and Friend, His love will sustain thee secure to the end. [Chorus]
