Careless soul, thy Saviour sees thee; Don't hold back ! Yearns till from thy thrall He frees thee Don't hold back ! Sin, long cherished, claims and shames thee, When aroused, thy conscience blames thee, Thou art lost till Christ reclaims thee Don't hold back !
2. Anxious soul, thy Saviour knows thee; Should temptation still oppose thee; Death, delayed, will soon o'ertake thee, Then, when earthly friends forsake thee, None but Christ to heaven can take thee ; Don't hold back !
3. Stricken soul, thy Saviour calls thee; Though thy guilty fear appals thee; Now the Lord of life has found thee, He will break the chains that bound thee, With the arms of love surround thee ; Don't hold back !
4. Pardoned soul, thy Saviour woos thee; In His service He would use thee; Though the hosts of hell assail thee, His protection ne'er shall fail thee, Till as victor heaven shall hail thee; Don't hold back !
5. Ransomed soul, thy Saviour heeds thee; When to pastures green He leads thee; Onward, upward, He will guide thee, Every needful good provide thee, Keeping ever close beside thee ; Don't hold back !
6. Gracious soul, thy Saviour owns thee; Till, triumphant, He enthrones thee; Death's dark stream may lie before thee, Angel guards are watching o'er thee ; Loved ones, glorified, call for thee; Don't hold back !
7. Happy soul, thy Saviour loves thee, And when He in mercy proves thee ; He to save and sanctify thee Grace for grace will not deny thee; When He comes to glorify thee, Don't hold back !
