152. Sinner, how thy heart is troubled!

1 Sinner, how thy heart is troubled!
God is coming very near;
Do not hide thy deep emotion,
Do not check that failing tear.

Chorus:
O, be saved, His grace is free!
O, be saved, He died for thee!
O, be saved, He died for thee!

2 Jesus now is bending o'er thee,
Jesus lowly, meek, and mild;
To the Friend who died to save thee,
Wilt thou not be reconciled? [Chorus]

3 Art thou waiting till the morrow?
Thou may'st never see its light;
Come at once! accept His mercy;
He is waiting come to night! [Chorus]

4 With a lowly, contrite spirit,
Kneeling at the Saviour's feet,
Thou canst feel, this very moment,
Pardon, precious, pure, and sweet! [Chorus]

5 Let the angels bear the tidings
Upward to the courts of heaven!
Let them sing, with holy rapture,
O'er another soul forgiven! [Chorus]
