Turn To Jesus

Author: Mrs. J. M. Hunter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9114 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Sweet and wondrous is the story Refrain First Line: Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus Lyrics: 1 Sweet and wondrous is the story Of our heav’nly Father’s love; Sinner, can you slight it longer? Turn your heart to things above. Refrain: Sinner, turn, O turn to Jesus, It is folly to delay! Heed today the call of mercy, Seek the blessèd, upward way. 2 Things of time and sense are fleeting, Earthly pleasures cannot last; Just beyond lies death’s dark river, Then eternity so vast! [Refrain] 3 Shun, O shun the sin and madness That has wrecked so many souls; Life is but extended sorrow Unless God the heart controls! [Refrain] 4 Not forever will He linger, This dear friend, so good, so kind; Love at last, remembers justice, If the call you will not mind. [Refrain] 5 There is gladness in His service; Light and joy and peace He gives; Come and find the precious comfort In the life the Christian lives. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN
