3 Child of sin and sorrow, where wilt thou flee?
Through that long to-morrow, eternity!
Exiled from home,
Darkly to roam—
Child of sin and sorrow,
Where wilt thou flee?
4 Child of sin and sorrow, lift up thine eye!
Heirship thou canst borrow in worlds on high!
In that high home,
Graven thy name;
Child of sin and sorrow,
Swift homeward fly!
323 6s & 4s.
To-day.
To-day the Saviour calls.
Ye wanderers, come:
O, ye benighted souls
Why longer roam?
2 To-day the Saviour calls;
O, hear him now;
Within these sacred walls
To Jesus bow.
3 To-day the Saviour calls;
For refuge fly;
The storm of vengeance falls,
And death is nigh.
4 The Spirit calls to-day;
Yield to his power;
O, grieve him not away;
’Tis mercy’s hour.
324 P. M.
Come.
Come—come—come to the Saviour,
Rich—rich mercy receive;
Here—here you will find pardon,
Jesus from sin will relieve;
Come—come—come—come,
Come to the Saviour and live.
2 Come—come laden and weary,
Christ Christ calls thee to come;
Leave—leave paths dark and dreary,
Cease from the Saviour to roam;
Come—come—come—come,
Jesus will guide thee safe home.
3 Come—come seek his salvation,
Now—now hear and obey;
Hark—hark the sweet invitation,
Angels invite you away;
Come—come—come—come,
Sinner, believe and obey.
4 Hark—hark, angels are singing,
Love—love—love is their theme;
Peace—peace joyfully bringing,
Mercy from God the Supreme:
Come—come—come—come,
Jesus is rich to redeem.
325 7s & 6s.
Early piety.
O come in life’s gay morning,
Ere in thy sunny way
The flowers of hope have withered,
And sorrow end thy day.
Come, while from joy’s bright fountain
The streams of pleasure flow,
Come ere thy buoyant spirits
Have felt the blight of wo.
2 “Remember thy Creator”
Now in thy youthful days,
And he will guide thy footsteps
Through life’s uncertain maze.
“Remember thy Creator,”
He calls in tones of love,
And offers deathless glories
In brighter worlds above.
3 And in the hour of sadness,
When earthly joys depart,
His love shall be thy solace,
And cheer thy drooping heart.
And when life’s storm is over,
And thou from earth art free,
Thy God will be thy portion
Throughout eternity.
326 H. M.
The year of jubilee.
