1.

Come unto God who is rest’s only source;
Tired, troubled heart, O how dark is your course:
Hast’ning t’ward death and eternal remorse—
/: Come while there’s still time! :/

2.

Are you afflicted by sin’s piercing darts?
Jesus knows well all that dwells in your heart;
He learned man’s state when in flesh He took part.
/: Come while there’s still time! :/

3.

Death He has suffered that now you may live.
Would you refuse what the Lord longs to give?
Why should you perish when God will forgive?
/: Come while there’s still time! :/

4.

Soul in despair, where’s your anchor of rest?
Anxious your thoughts, how you doubt and protest.
Jesus still knocks, and He seeks just your best.
/: Won’t you let Him in? :/
