1 Come to Jesus! He will save you,
Tho' your sins as crimson glow;
If you give your heart to Jesus,
He will make it white as snow
Chorus:
Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus! (Come, come today! Come, come today!)
Come to Jesus! Come today! (Come, yes, come, come today!)
Come to Jesus! Come to Jesus! (Come, come today! Come, come today!)
Come to Jesus! Come, come today!
2 Come to Jesus! Do not tarry,
Enter in at mercy's gate;
O delay not till the morrow,
Lest thy coming be too late. [Chorus]
3 Come to Jesus, dying sinner!
Other Savior there is none;
He will share with you His glory,
When your pilgrimage is done. [Chorus]
