Listen to the gospel, telling

How the Lord was crucified;

How upon the cross he suffered,

When he bowed his head and died,

All for sinners!

Come, then, to his bleeding side.

2 Listen to the gospel calling!

Hear, O sinner, and obey!

Come to Jesus, he will save you,

Now, no longer stay away;

He invites you;

Sinner, then, make no delay,

3 Listen to the gospel pleading,

Hasten, sinner, to arise;

Come and cast yourself on Jesus,

He to none his love denies;

Trust him freely,

Wait no longer; now be wise.

4 Listen to the gospel blessing

All who trust the Saviour’s love;

And to those who now obey him,

Bringing pardon from above;

Careless sinner,

Will you still refuse to move?

5 Listen to the gospel warning;

All who stay away must die;

Come, then, while all things are ready,

Mercy calls you from on high;

Come and welcome,

Hear, O hear the Saviour cry!
