Representative Text

1 A little while, a little while,
And Christ shall come again,
A King of kings and Lord of lords,
The righteous Judge of men;
Would we be found of Him in peace
On that decisive day,
It must be that we here and now,
Repent, believe, obey.

Repent, believe, obey,
Repent, believe, obey.
It must be that we here and now,
Repent, believe, obey.

2 If I believe, I simply trust,
And take God at His word;
I rest upon His memories,
Thro’ holy scripture heard.
I look to Christ’s most precious blood
To wash my sins away,
The Holy Spirit helps me thus:
Repent, believe, obey.

Repent, believe, obey,
Repent, believe, obey.
The Holy Spirit helps me thus:
Repent, believe, obey.

3 It is not hard to serve the Lord,
From principle within;
His yoke is easy—quite unlike
The galling yoke of sin.
Come then, O sinner, as you are,
To Christ without delay;
‘Tis His own voice that bids you now,
Repent, believe, obey.

Repent, believe, obey,
Repent, believe, obey.
‘Tis His own voice that bids you now,
Repent, believe, obey.
