Representative Text

1 Come, ye disconsolate, weary of sin,
Longing and sighing for rest,
Jesus invites you to come unto Him,
He can relieve the distressed.

Chorus:
Come to the Saviour and pardon receive;
Come to the Saviour, He'll freely forgive;
Come to the Saviour, repent and believe,
Jesus invites you to come.

2 Come unto Jesus, the Lamb that was slain,
Dying for us on the tree;
All that he suffered of sorrow and pain,
Sinner, he suffered for thee. [Chorus]

3 Come, then, dear sinner, no longer abuse
Jesus, thy Saviour and God;
Come, he'll receive thee, no longer refuse;
Wash, and be cleansed in his blood. [Chorus]
