Look not behind thee; O sinner, beware!
Haste to the mountain, thy refuge is there;
Trust not the voices that lure thee to stay;
Jesus is calling thee — then why still delay?
List to the warning! no longer remain! t
Fly from the valley, escape from the plain!
Turn from the voices that lure thee to stay:
Angels are calling thee — then why still delay?
Look not behind thee; O lost one, beware!
Why dost thou linger ‘twixt hope and despair?
Danger and darkness encompass thy way:
Jesus is calling thee — then why still delay?
List to the warning! no longer remain! t
Fly from the valley, escape from the plain!
Turn from the voices that lure thee to stay:
Angels are calling thee — then why still delay?
Look not behind thee, the tempter is near;
Speed to the mountain, thy pathway is clear:
Jesus who loves thee is calling today:
Come to thy Father's house — oh, why still delay?
List to the warning! no longer remain! t
Fly from the valley, escape from the plain!
Turn from the voices that lure thee to stay:
Angels are calling thee — then why still delay?
