Lyrics 1 Oh! be warned of your danger, nor slight the day of grace, The wine cup leads to sin and woe; 'Tis the Saviour that calls you, O fly to his embrace, What joy his mercy can bestow. Chorus: See the found of salvaton before you, Drink, oh, drink, and find peaceful rest, For the world and its pleasures are fleeting as a dream, O come and be forever blest. 2 Shall your homes still be lonely, and pity strive in vain, To wake one feeling in your heart? Will you doom those who love you, to sorrow, grief and pain? Oh! come, and choose the better part. 3 Break the chain that would bind you, that sparkles to deceive, Be warned while yet you may return; If the spirit now striving too often you should grieve, The lamp of life may cease to burn.
