6. But if you still His call refuse,
And all His wondrous love abuse,
Soon will He sadly from you turn,
Your bitter prayer from pardon spurn.
'Too late! Too late!" will be the cry
"Jesus of Nazareth has passed by."
1. What means this eager, anxious throng,
Which moves with busy haste along,
These wondrous gatherings day by day!
What means this strange commotion, pray
In accents hushed the throng reply:
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
5. Ho! all ye heavy laden, come,
Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and home;
Ye wanderers from a Father's face
Return, accept His proffered grace,
Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
