Chorus

Lo! He calls for your repentance Now, poor wand'rer, tempest-tossed, Hear the Master's solemn message: "Come, repent, or you are lost."

Verse 3

Why in blindness do you wait, Wand'ring farther from the light, Loving things which you should hate, Sinking deeper into night?

Chorus

Lo! He calls for your repentance Now, poor wand'rer, tempest-tossed, Hear the Master's solemn message: "Come, repent, or you are lost."

Verse 4

Soon the summer days will go, And the harvest time be past, Then will cease His pleading low, And your doom be sealed at last.

Oh, the tree that bears no fruit Cannot always cumb'ring grow, For His blade will smite the root, And its beauty be laid low.
