Come, all the world! Come, sinner, thou!

ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
in Christ a hearty welcome find.
4. My message as from God receive;
ye all may come to Christ and live.
O let his love your hearts constrain,
nor suffer him to die in vain.

This is the Lord's accepted day.
Come thou, this moment, at his call,
and live for him who died for all.

Will L. Thompson
1847 - 1909 Topics: Call to the Christian Life Author of "Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling" in The United Methodist Hymnal Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909)
Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio.
Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York.
Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio.
Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times:
"No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. In this way I never lose it."
Thompson took ill during a tour of Europe, and his family cut short their travels to return home. He died a few weeks later.
