Hymn 410: You children of the dead

Enyin omo oku

  1. You children of the dead,
    Who remain in sin still;
    Hear you the Gospel call,
    Jesus has sent to you;
    You miserable rejects come now;
    In Jesus’ arms there’s always room.

  2. Do not delay too long,
    Eschew all excuses;
    He calls you to come now,
    Though you are miserable,
    You sinner, all things are ready;
    There’s room in His arms for all souls.

  3. Believe the divine word.
    Which His servant proclaims;
    The Lord is merciful
    Indeed His name is Truth:
    Come back you souls that are fallen,
    Stops distrusting, there’s always room.

  4. You who the Lord’s love draws,
    Unto Him draw you near;
    Christ from above calls you,
    Hear His sweet loving voice;
    Let whoever is willing come,
    In Mercy’s bosom there is room. Amen.
