Author: T. C. O'K Hymnal: Joy to the World #89 (1879) First Line: Come, needy sinners Lyrics: 1 Come, needy sinners,
Jesus is waiting,
Waiting to give you peace within;
Haste to the Savior,
Trust in his mercy,
Taste all the joys of pardoned sin.
Chorus:
Linger no longer,
Come now to Jesus,
Low at his foot-stool humbly bow
Oh Linger no longer,
Come now to Jesus,
Jesus will save you save just now.
2 Come, come to Jesus,
Angels are waiting,
Waiting to bear the news above;
Sinners are coming,
Wand'rers returning,
Seeking again a Father's love. [Chorus]
3 Come, come to Jesus,
Dear friends are waiting,
Waiting to greet you in their throng;
Happy in Jesus,
Sharing their rapture,
Singing with them the new, new song. [Chorus]
4 Come, come to Jesus,
All things are ready,
Ready for your return today;
Time fast is fleeting,
Judgment is hast'ning,
Come, find salvation while you may. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Come, needy sinners]
Linger no longer
