WELCOME WITH WARNING.

By N. W. Vincent

BY N. W. VINCENT.

Saints of God, oh, sound the warning That the sinner’s doom shall tell, Who in spite of God’s dear longing Will pursue the way to hell! In God’s heart is wondrous pity, And there’s yet abundant room In God’s great all-lovely city,— Whosoever will may come.

Sinner, if you tarry longer Oh, there’s wrath and plagues in store,— Death, a fiery deluge stronger Than the flood in days of Noah. He who now commands repentance Saying, “Come,” with yearning heart, Soon will utter loud the sentence, “Into fire, ye cursed, depart.”

Now, to-day, with tender yearning Jesus bids you, “Come to me;” Come, and of the Meek One learning, Be from bonds of sin set free; Come, and test his truth and power, Come, and share his boundless grace, Then in that last trying hour, Christ will be your hiding-place.
