1 O helpless sinner, born to die,
Hear, hear the gospel herald cry:

Refrain:
O come and let us go, let us go, let us go,
O come and let us go,
Where pleasures never die.

2 No longer in your sins forbear,
But now the gospel trumpet hear: [Refrain]

3 This earthly life will soon be o'er,
And Christ will call to you no more: [Refrain]

4 O sinner, turn while yet you may;
While yet the Spirit calls, obey: [Refrain]

5 We have no constant building here;
O sinner, now for death prepare: [Refrain]
