Come to Him just as you are;
Haste, for the shadows are falling,
Gates of the night are ajar.
Refrain:
Just as you are without waiting,
Though you have wandered afar,
He will receive, if you only believe,
O come to Him just as you are.
2 You need not wait to grow better,
Every such effort is vain;
Jesus can break every fetter,
Blot out your guilt and your stain. [Refrain]
3 Come as you are without fearing,
Jesus is waiting to save;
Yes, for the vilest of sinners
His life a ransom He gave. [Refrain]
4 Come, for the Saviour is pleading,
He loves and longs to forgive;
He offers you free salvation,
Accept His pardon and live. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Come, for the Saviour is calling]

1884 - 1965 Composer of "[Come, for the Saviour is calling]" in The Voice of Thanksgiving Homer Hammontree was born March 3, 1884, to Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Hammontree of Greenback, Tennessee. He graduated from nearby Maryville College in 1909 and, after teaching for a short time at local institutions, attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois. During World War I, Hammontree served as evangelist Mel Trotter's song leader, as together they toured U.S. army camps. They continued to work together for the next nineteen years. He also worked with Billy Sunday and Homer Rodeheaver. In 1936, Hammontree returned to Moody as head of the Music Department. He remained in this post until 1942. The same year he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from his old alma mater, Maryville College. During World War II, he again toured the army camps and sang at evangelistic services. After the war, he both conducted his own evangelistic services and worked with other ministers, such as Paul Beckwith and Howard Hermansen. He left Chicago in 1958 and moved back to Tennessee, where he died February 2, 1965.
