Get Right With God

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Songs for All #68 (1906) First Line: Why don’t you get right with God, O sinner Refrain First Line: Why don’t you get right with God Lyrics: 1 Why don’t you get right with God, O sinner? Forsake now the path you so long have trod, Your sins will be lost in the depths of love’s ocean, If you’ll only get right with God. Refrain: Why don’t you get right with God? O come to him just as you are, Why don’t you get right with God, Ere he calls you, calls you to his judgment bar. 2 Why don’t you get right with God, O wand’rer? Come back to the way that you used to love, Your God will receive you and give you a welcome, And new joys send you from above. [Refrain] 3 Be sure you are right with God, O Christian! Let nothing deceive you, be sure to know, You’ve left all your doubts at the cross of your Saviour, And your soul under Calv’ry’s flow. [Refrain] 4 Why longer refuse his tender compassion, Why longer remain in your lost estate, Get right with your God while the moments are passing, Ere it be evermore too late. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Why don't you get right with God, O sinner]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "Get Right With God" in Songs for All Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
