The Last Call
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12878 First Line: ’Tis the last call of mercy Lyrics: 1 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
That lingers for thee;
Oh! sinner, receive it;
To Jesus now flee!
He often has called thee,
But thou hast refused!
His offered salvation
And love are abused!
2 If thou slightest this warning,
Now offered at last,
Thine will be the sad mourning—
"The harvest is past,
Salvation I’ve slighted,
The summer is o’er,
And now there is pardon,
Sweet pardon, no more."
3 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, turn not away,
For now swiftly hasteth
The dread vengeance day!
The Spirit invites you,
And pleads with you, come!
Oh, come to life’s waters,
Nor thirstingly roam!
4 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
Oh, steel not thy heart,
For now she is rising,
From earth to depart!
The Bride is now calling—
"Ye thirsty souls, come!"
Oh, come with the ransomed,
In Heaven there’s room!
5 ’Tis the last call of mercy,
That lingers for thee,
Break away from thy bondage,
Oh, sinner, be free!
Be not a sad mourner,
"The harvest is past,
The summer is ended"—
And perish at last. Languages: English Tune Title: [’Tis the last call of mercy]

Anonymous
Person Name: Anon. Author of "The last call of mercy now lingers for thee" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
