O sinner, beware!
Haste to the mountain,
Thy refuge is there;
Trust not the voices
That lure thee to stay;
Jesus is calling thee,
Then why still delay?
Refrain:
List to the warning! no longer remain,—
Fly from the valley, escape from the plain;—
Turn from the voices that lure thee to stay,
Angels are calling thee, then why still delay?
2 Look not behind thee;
O lost one, beware;
Why dost thou linger
‘Twixt hope and despair?
Danger and darkness
Encompass thy way;
Jesus is calling thee,
Then why still delay? [Refrain]
3 Look not behind thee;
The tempter is near;
Speed to the mountain,
Thy pathway is clear;
Jesus who loves thee
Is calling today;
Come to thy Father’s house,
O why still delay? [Refrain] Topics: Invitation Tune Title: [Look not behind thee]
