Sinner go, will you go To the high lands of heaven? And the long summer's given. Where the rivers of Joy O'er the bright plains are flowing, And the world leave behind you? Have but dazzled to blind you. Will yon go to that land Where your friends wait to greet you? There a beautiful band Join with us to entreat you; They are waiting above, Waiting happy to hail you, In those regions of love Where no ills can assail you. Where the saints robed in white, Neither trouble nor sorrow, Will be felt for a day, Nor be feared for the morrow. He's prepared thee a home, Sinner's can'st thou believe it? And invites thee to come, Sinner wilt thou receive it? O, come, sinner come! For the tide is receding; And the Saviour will soon, And for ever cease pleading, ANSWER. I will go, I will go. To that bright home in heaven, Nor will tarry below Where true joy ne'er is given. In the high-ways and holy; With the meek and the lowly, I have wandered from light, Was still mingled with sadness, I will bid earth adieu, With its vain empty pleasures, And my journey pursue To a land of bright treasures; I will sing of his love, I will trust in his merit, Blessed Savour on high! O, protect and preserve me! Or the wicked allure me, THE HOLY BIBLE, CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS.
