The Last Call

1'TIS the last call of mercy
That lingers for thee;
Oh! Will yo receive it;
To Jesus now flee!
He often has called thee,
But thou hast refus'd
His offered salvation,
And love is abused.

2If thou slightest this warning
Now offered at last,
Thine will be the sad mourning–
The harvest is past;
Salvation I've slighted,
The summer is o'er,
And now there is pardon,
Sweet pardon, no more.

3'Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, turn not away,
For now swiftly hasteth
The dread vengeance day;
The Spirit invites you,
And pleads with you, come!
Oh, come to Life's waters,
Nor thirstingly roam.

4'Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, steel not thy heart,
For now she is rising
From earth to depart;
The Bride is now calling–
"Ye thirsty souls, come!"
Oh, come with the ransom'd,
In heaven there's room!

5'Tis the last call of mercy
That lingers for thee,
Break away from thy bondage,
Oh, brother be free!
Be not a sad mourner–
The harvest is past;
The summer is ended,
And perish at last!
