Won't You Come to Jesus Now?

Representative Text

1 Weary soul, thy Savior died,
Yea, for thee was crucified,
Heaven’s gate He opened wide,
Won’t you come to Jesus Now?

Refrain:
Won’t you come to Jesus Now?
Won’t you come to Jesus Now?
Come and low before Him bow,
Won’t you come to Jesus Now?

2 Crimson though thy sins may be
In the blood He shed for thee,
There is cleansing full and free,
Won’t you come to Jesus Now? [Refrain]

3 While the Spirit pleadeth still,
Yield, O yield to Him thy will,
Wondrous peace thy heart will fill,
Won’t you come to Jesus Now? [Refrain]

4 Linger not another day,
Make Him now thy life and stay,
He will keep thee safe alway,
Won’t you come to Jesus Now? [Refrain]
