The Cyber Hymnal ‎#12755

12755. Arouse Thee!

1 Oh sinner, arouse thee!
The day is drawing nigh;
When Jesus is coming,
With power from on high.

Refrain:
Arouse thee! arouse thee!
Oh sinner, awake!
Arouse thee! arouse thee!
And all thy sins forsake!

2 If Jesus were coming
In all His power tonight,
Then thou couldst not meet Him,
Thy heart would not be right. [Refrain]

3 Oh how canst thou spurn Him,
Who died upon the tree,
To purchase salvation
So freely offered thee. [Refrain]

4 Thy friends now entreat thee,
To come, accept His love,
O join with thy loved ones,
In praise to Him above. [Refrain]

5 He only commands thee,
To hear, believe, repent,
Confess and obey Him;
Then feel thy heart’s content. [Refrain]

6 Prepare for His coming,
The way is offered thee;
Obey His commandments,
And happy thou shalt be. [Refrain]
