Representative Text

1 Come to the Saviour,
Come in your youth,
Drink from the flowing
Fountain of truth;
Jesus invites you,
List to his voice,
Pleading and tender,
Hear and rejoice.

Chorus:
Come to the Saviour,
Come in your youth,
Drink from the flowing
Fountain of truth;
e to the Saviour,
Come in your youth,
Drink from the fadeless
Fountain of truth.

2 Come to the Saviour
While it is day,
Glad is his welcome,
Do not delay;
More than all others
He is your friend,
Closer than brother's,
Unto life's end. [Chorus]

3 Come, he will bless you;
Tender and true,
Friend and Redeemer
He'll be to you;
Haste to obey him,
Wait not too long,
Serve him with gladness,
Willing and strong. [Chorus]
