Come Tonight

Representative Text

1 Hear the Saviour gently calling,
Come tonight, O come tonight.
In a voice most tender calling;
Come tonight, O come tonight.

Refrain:
Jesus is calling,
Calling tonight, calling tonight,
Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home.

2 See thy Saviour: still He’s waiting;
Come tonight, O come tonight.
At the door of mercy waiting;
Come tonight, O come tonight. [Refrain]

3 While the Holy Spirit’s pleading,
Come tonight, O come tonight.
While the Christ is interceding;
Come tonight, O come tonight. [Refrain]

4 Jesus’ love for thee is yearning,
Come tonight, O come tonight.
Angels wait for thy returning;
Come tonight, O come tonight.
