Sinners, the voice of God regard;
\n\u2019Tis mercy speaks today;
\nHe calls you by His sacred Word
\nFrom sin\u2019s destructive way.<\/p>\n

Like the rough sea that cannot rest,
\nYou live devoid of peace;
\nA thousand stings within your breast
\nDeprive your souls of ease.<\/p>\n

Your way is dark, and leads to hell;
\nWhy will you persevere?
\nCan you in endless torments dwell,
\nShut up in black despair?<\/p>\n

Why will you in the crooked ways
\nOf sin and folly go?
\nIn pain you travel all your days,
\nTo reap eternal woe.<\/p>\n

But he that turns to God shall live
\nThrough His abounding grace:
\nHis mercy will the guilt forgive
\nOf those that seek His face.<\/p>\n

Bow to the scepter of His Word,
\nRenouncing every sin,
\nSubmit to Him, your sovereign Lord,
\nAnd learn His will divine.<\/p>\n

His love exceeds your highest thoughts,
\nHe pardons like a God;
\nHe will forgive your numerous faults,
\nThrough a redeemer\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
