36. The Cup of Salvation

1 The cup of salvation is offered to thee;
Take it; whoever will, take it;
A home with the blest may thy heritage be;
Take it; whoever will, take it.

Refrain:
Oh, why wilt thou linger, why longer delay,
When Christ thy Redeemer has shown thee the way?
He offers full pardon, oh, turn not away!
Take it; whoever will; take it.

2 The cup of salvation is full to the brim;
Take it; whoever will, take it;
’Tis offered to all who are thirsting for him
Take it; whoever will, take it. [Refrain]

3 Oh, why be content with the little thou hast?
Take it; whoever will, take it;
Go thou to the fountain o’erflowing and vast;
Take it; whoever will, take it. [Refrain]
