72. A Present Savior

1 Hear mercy’s call today for “whosoever,”
Now is god’s accepted time;
The past is gone beyond thy reach forever
And the future is not thine.

Refrain:
Oh, he is a present Savior, hallelujah!
Whosoever will may find it true;
Yes, he is a present Savior,
And his blest “whosoever”
Means you, oh, my brother, means you.

2 Come as you are, bowed down in deep contrition,
Burdened with a load of care;
The Lord who sees and knows thy lost condition
Longs thy heavy load to share. [Refrain]

3 Come, feast upon the wine and milk and honey,
See a bounteous table spread;
‘Tis free for all, ye need no price or money,
Feed upon the living bread. [Refrain]

4 “I will arise and go unto my Father’:
Make this bold resolve today;
Close to his heart his wand’ring child he’ll gather,
In his blest embrace to stay. [Refrain]
