Come to the Savior Now
Author: John M. Wigner Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Lyrics: 1 Come to the Savior now, he gently calls to you;
in true repentance bow, let him your heart renew.
Christ came that you may know salvation, peace and love,
true joy on earth below, a home in heaven above.
2 Come to the Savior now, all who have wandered far;
renew your solemn vow, for his by right you are;
come like poor, wandering sheep returning to his fold;
his arm will safely keep, his love will ne'er grow cold.
3 Come to the Savior now, he offers all to you,
and on his merits you can plead for life anew.
No vain excuses frame, respond to Christ today!
None who to Jesus came were ever sent away.
4 Come to the Savior, all, whate'er your burdens be;
hear now his loving call, "Cast all your care on me."
Come, and for every grief, in Jesus you will find
a sure and safe relief, a loving friend and kind.
