Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 ‎#10

10. Cross the Line

1 Cross the line, cross the line from the world to the Christ,
He has waited so long there for you;
Will you still hold as dear fleeting pleasures of earth,
When the days of your life are so few.

Refrain:
Cross the line, cross the line,
He will not come to you,
“Follow me,” heed the call and obey;
Cross the line; cross the line, it is only a step,
From the world to the heavenly way.

2 Cross the line, cross the line, lay your burden of sin
At the feet of the Saviour of men;
Hear His voice “Come to Me,” take the step while you can,
Slighted once, He may ne’er call again. [Refrain]

3 Cross the line, cross the line to the bright other side,
Cling with faith to the strengthening hand;
Ere the dark shadows fall and life’s sun sinks to rest,
On the Lord’s side rejoicingly stand. [Refrain]
