108. Who Will Start for the Kingdom?

1 Jesus is waiting, O sinner, for thee,
Come to him now, come to him now;
List! he is pleading for you and for me,
Haste thee and unto him bow.

Refrain:
Who will start for the kingdom tonight?
Who’ll break away from the fetters so tight?
Who will turn from his sin and woe,
And to the Savior will trustingly go?

2 Heed ye his warnings and promises, too,
Dare to do right, dare to do right;
Join in the ranks of the humble and true,
Start for the kingdom tonight. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is ready for all who will come,
Ready to save, ready to save;
In his great mansion there ever is room,
Only on Jesus believe. [Refrain]
