1 O sinner, come list to this wonderful story,
Much sweeter than ever a soul did beguile;
Christ Jesus invites you to grace and to glory,
O come to him now, won't you give him a trial?
Chorus:
Won't you give him a trial? won't you give him a trial?
He'll brighten your pathway and cheer ev'ry mile;
Come, bask in the sunlight of his loving smile,
O come to him now, won't you give him a trial?
2 There's only one pathway that reaches to heaven,
The pathway of cross-bearing and self-denial;
Now, while Christ invites you, O come, be forgiven,
O come to him now, won't you give him a trial? [Chorus]
3 A home is prepared for the pure and the holy,
But naught can there enter to mar or defile;
O bring all your sins to the meek and the lowly,
O come to him now, won't you give him a trial? [Chorus]
