1 The Son of man is passing by
Let no one fail to greet him;
Forsake all petty, baser things,
Go forth today to meet him.
Refrain:
He’s passing today, he’s passing this way,
Let no one fail to see him!
The sinner who calls whom sin now appalls,
Will find God’s love can free him.
2 The light divine illumes his way,
The darkness flees before him;
Your path he’ll make with glory bright,
Go forth, accept, adore him. [Refrain]
3 God’s truth is ringing in your ears,
Why hold it in derision?
While Christ is near, his voice you hear,
Make now the great decision. [Refrain]
4 Your soul is not your own, but his,
With his own blood he bought you;
Why rob your God, who thro’ the years
With love divine has sought you? [Refrain]
