Will You Not Come?

*Thou hast receired gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also.’

WILL you not come to Him for life? Why will ye die, oh why? He gave His life for you, for you! The gift is free, the word is true! Will you not come? oh, why will you die?

He shed His precious blood for you;

The gift is free, the word is true! He is our Peace I oh, is He your own?
