1 Are you sin-burdened and weary today?
Jesus is waiting to save you;
He will remove all your guilt far away,
Jesus is waiting to save you.

Refrain:
Come to the Savior, oh, come to him now,
Just as you are at his feet lowly bow;
Accept him today,
There’s death in delay!
Oh, come, he is waiting to save you just now.

2 Is your soul crimson or scarlet within?
Jesus is waiting to cleanse you;
White as the snow he will wash every sin,
Jesus is waiting to cleanse you. [Refrain]

3 Do you desire this new life to begin?
Jesus is waiting to help you;
Grace he will give all your battles to win,
Jesus is waiting to help you. [Refrain]

4 Are you oft tempted the wrong way to go?
Jesus is waiting to guide you;
Walk in his foot-steps, the way he doth know,
Safe home to heaven he’ll lead you. [Refrain]
