Original text and translations

English text

1. Ye dying sons of men,
Immersed in sin and woe, (1)
The gospel's voice attend,
While Jesus sends to you:
Ye perishing and guilty come,
In Jesus’ arms there yet is room.

2. No longer now delay,
Nor vain excuses frame;
He bids you come today,
Though poor, and blind, and lame:
All things are ready, sinners come,
For every trembling soul there's room.

3. Believe the heavenly word
His messengers proclaim;
He is a gracious Lord,
And faithful is his name:
Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off despair, there yet is room.

4. Compelled by bleeding love,
Ye wandering sheep draw near;
Christ calls you from above,
His charming accents hear!
Let whosoever will now come:
In mercy's arms there still is room.

(1) Originally Immerg’d, now archaic.
