Come, O Come

Representative Text

1 Come, oh, come, when Christ is calling,
Linger not in paths of sin;
Sever ev'ry tie that binds you,
And the heav'nly race begin.

Refrain:
Calling now, calling now,
Hear the Saviour calling now;
Calling now, calling now,
Hear the Saviour calling now.

2 Come, oh, come, while Christ is pleading;
Oh, what love His tones convey!
Will you slight His proffer'd mercy,
Will you longer from Him stray? [Refrain]

3 Come, oh, come, delay no longer,
For th' accepted time is now;
Yield, oh yield yourself to Jesus,
And before His sceptre bow. [Refrain]
