Regard in time the warning kind;

That call thou may'st not always slight

And yet the gate of mercy find.

4 God's Spirit will not always strive

With hardened self-destroying men;

Ye, who persist his love to grieve,

May never hear his voice again.

5 Sinner! perhaps this very day

Thy last accepted time may be:

Oh! should'st thou grieve him now away
