COLD CAST AWAY

Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast away,
Die ere the Guest adored she entertain
Lest eyes that never saw Thine earthly day
Should miss Thy heavenly reign.

Thou earnest, O Lord,
With the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But, with mocking scorn
And with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary :
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
Thy Cross Is my only plea.
