Invitation.

By E. D. W. B.

Come to the Fount of endless peace, The Spirit bids you come, O come where joys shall never cease, Though worldly joys be gone, Let not earth's gilded toys deceive Thy heart until too late, But in the Saviour Christ believe, His cause no longer hate. Thy worldly pleasures, hopes and joys Will shortly pass away; There's nothing here without alloy, Then why should you delay? Come, for probation soon will end, Life's precious hours be gone; Choose Christ the Saviour for thy friend, That he may lead thee home. Grieve not the Spirit's tender love Which oft has moved on thee, But seek the wisdom from above And from the tempter flee. Religion may be sought to-day, To-morrow is not thine; Repent, believe, without delay, And in Christ's image shine. —E. D. W. B.
