- 1O sinner, heed the voice of God,
- It speaks to you to-day,
- And calls you by his sacred word
- From sin's destructive way.
- 2It bids you turn to him, and live
- Through his abounding grace;
- His mercy will the guilt forgive
- Of those who seek his face.
- 3Bow to the scepter of his word,
- Renouncing every sin:
- Submit to him, your sovereign Lord,
- And bid him reign within.
