Just on the threshold! Oh, why not come in,
Leaving the mazes of darkness and sin?
Forward the light, and the glory divine;
Backward the dangers, and woes that were thine.

  Just on the threshold - and Christ calls to thee!
  Come! with the pardoned forever to be!
  Just on the threshold - why linger so long?
  Sing, with the ransomed, eternity's song!

Just on the threshold, and joy near at hand;
Yonder's the gleam of Immanuel's land!
Refuge and rest are now offered to thee:
Sin or salvation - oh, which shall it be?

Just on the threshold - oh, make now thy choice;
Come with the servants of Christ, and rejoice!
Jesus is calling, oh, turn not aside!
Come! 'tis the voice of the Spirit and bride!
