Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #840 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come to the ark, come to the ark;
To Jesus come away:
The pestilence walks forth by night,
The arrows fly by day.
2 Come to the ark: the waters rise,
The seas their billows rear;
While darkness gathers o'er the skies,
Behold a refuge near!
3 Come to the ark, all, all that weep
Beneath the sense of sin:
Without, deep calleth unto deep,
But all is peace within.
4 Come to the ark, ere yet the flood
Your lingering steps oppose;
Come, for the door which open stood
Is now about to close. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises; The Ark of Safety
Come to the ark, come to the ark
