Losing Your Soul

Author: T. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: You are losing your soul Refrain First Line: Yet Christ intercedes Lyrics: 1 You are losing your soul, Sadly missing the goal, You are hopelessly drifting away, Blindly wand’ring from God On a treacherous road, You are far from his kingdom today. Chorus: Yet Christ intercedes In heav’n above, He tenderly pleads, Like wooing dove, Supplying your needs In kindly love; O cease from your drifting away! 2 You remember the hour When the Spirit of pow’r Touched your lips with his finger of grace, When he names you his own, When your heart was his throne, And you gazed on God’s reconciled face. [Chorus] 3 Now you stumble along; From your life all the song Has departed, and gladness takes wing; You are leading no one To the feet of God’s Son, You are false to your Savior and King! [Chorus] 4 You are doomed to be cast With the vilest at last, And the fate of the guilty to share, From God’s presence to hide, And eternally bide In the regions of hopeless despair! [Chorus] 5 With the ages in view, Is it nothing to you That the Master is calling you home? Can you turn from the light Into darkness tonight, From his mercy forever to roam? [Chorus] Used With Tune: [You are losing your soul]
