Author: L. W. Munhall Hymnal: Redemption Songs #98 (1889) First Line: O ye wanderers, come to Jesus Refrain First Line: Why don’t you come to Jesus Lyrics: 1 O ye wand’rers, come to Jesus,
He is calling you today;
By his sovereign grace he frees us;
Come, be saved while now you may.
Refrain:
Why don’t you come to Jesus?
He’s waiting to receive you,
Why don’t you come to Jesus and be saved?
Why don’t you come to Jesus?
He’s waiting to receive you,
Why don’t you come to Jesus and be saved?
2 You are needy, lost and weary;
You are sick and wounded sore;
Long have trod the way most dreary;
Can you ever need him more? [Refrain]
3 Do not think your works have merit,
Cast your deadly goodness down,
Not by these can you inherit
Life eternal—heaven’s crown. [Refrain]
4 Do not wait until you’re better,
For you surely will be lost;
Come, he’ll break sin’s ev’ry fetter;
Come, at once, at any cost. [Refrain]
5 He from heaven came to save you,
Hung upon th’-accursed tree,
‘Rose from death to justify you,
Waits to intercede for thee. [Refrain]
6 Yield just now, in glad submission,
In repentance, faith, and love;
he will grant you full remission,
Take you to his home above. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O ye wanderers, come to Jesus]
