Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.438

First Line: Look not behind thee ; O sinner, beware,

Look not behind thee ; O sinner, beware !
Haste to the mountain, thy refuge is there ;
Trust not the voices that lure thee to stay ;
Jesus is calling thee----then why still delay ?

List to the warning ! no longer remain ! t
Fly from the valley, escape from the plain !
Turn from the voices that lure thee to stay :
Angels are calling thee-----then why still delay ?

2 Look not behind thee; O lost one, beware !
Why dost thou linger 'twixt hope and despair ?
Danger and darkness encompass thy way :
Jesus is calling thee------then why still delay ?

3 Look not behind thee, the tempter is near ;
Speed to the mountain, thy pathway is clear :
Jesus who loves thee is calling today :
Come to thy Father's house------oh, why still delay ?
