184. Come to the Christ

1 Sinner, a Stranger’s at thy door,
O come! yes, come!
Gently He knocks,—He’s knocked before.
O come to Christ!
Long has He waited, waits He still;
O come! yes, come!
Canst thou treat any friend so ill?
O come to Christ!

Refrain:
O come to Christ,
To Christ the Crucified,
Christ the glorified!
Come, O come!
O come, O come to the Christ!

2 Lonely His attitude; He stands—
O come! yes, come!
Waiting for thee, with outstretched hands.
O come to Christ!
Infinite kindness, yes, He shows,
O come! yes, come!
Infinite love e’en to His foes,
O come to Christ! [Refrain]

3 Touched by His wondrous love divine,
O come! yes, come!
Turn away sin, His foe and thine.
O come to Christ!
Open thine heart, His grace to win,
O come! yes, come!
Welcome this heavenly Stranger in.
O come to Christ! [Refrain]
