37. Jesus Now Is Passing By

1 Come, weary sinner, to the Cross;
The Saviour bids you come;
Come, trusting in his precious blood;
Wait not—there still is room.

Refrain:
Jesus now is passing by, passing by, passing by,
Jesus now is passing by,
I’ll go out to meet him.
While he is so very nigh, very nigh, very nigh,
While he is so very nigh,
I’ll go out and greet him.

2 Oh! why delay your long return?
The Spirit gently pleads;
Come to the Cross where on for you
The dying Saviour bleeds. [Refrain]

3 He waits to fill your soul with joy,
And all your sins forgive;
His love for you no tongue can tell;
Oh! trust his grace and live! [Refrain]
