Ah,moral man with selfish pride
Too long you've idolized "I Will"
And brushed the grace of God aside-
And yet, His hand is stretched out still!
Likewise, you vain religious fool,
You've wrought with arm of flesh until
You've built a Babel with your tool-
And yet His hand is stretched out still!
Thou sinner friend, with blighted mind
Of sin's strong drink you've had your fill;
You've trod the path that Hell designed -
And yet, His hand is stretched out still!
O, sin-sick soul, O, shameful one:
Do hear it, hear it, if you will!
You've blasphemed God and cursed His Son -
And yet, His hand is stretched out still!
Behold, the Just One and the True,
There on the Cross at Calv'ry's Hill;
His nail-pierced hands reach out for you -
Behold, His hand is stretched out still!
