Get Right with God (Sandison)

In darkness I lin­gered

’Mid doubt and des­pair

Sin’s bond­age long held me

A cap­tive to care;

But Je­sus de­livered

My soul from its chains

His pre­cious blood cleansed me

From sin’s guil­ty stains.

Get right with God!

His par­don is free

Get right with God

He’s wait­ing for thee;

Our Je­sus is call­ing:

Oh

come un­to Me;

Take Him

O sin­ner

And get right with God.

The world and its plea­sures

Did tempt me to stray

I saw not the dan­ger

That lurked on the way;

The toils closed around me

I knew no re­lease

But Je­sus has found me

And giv’n me His peace.

The path­way to Cal­v’ry

Is toil­some and hard

Yet tread it

O faint one

And find thy re­ward;

There lay down thy bur­den

And wash in the stream

That flows like a fount­ain

Thy soul to re­deem.

Repent while He calls thee

While yet it is day

Take with thee His gift of

Free par­don away;

Take Christ for thy Sav­ior

Redeemer and friend

His love will sus­tain thee

Secure to the end.
