Representative Text

1 Have you found the Savior precious?
Does your heart before Him bow?
Have you sought and found His pardon?
If you have not, why not now?

Refrain:
O there is no friend so precious,
None so loving, none so wise;
Every soul athirst for Jesus,
May salvation realize.

2 Do not turn away from Jesus,
Unto whom else can you go?
Tho’ your sins may be as scarlet,
He will wash them white as snow. [Refrain]

3 Do you falter in temptation?
Do you fear lest you should fail?
Trust Almightiness to keep you,
And in Him you shall prevail. [Refrain]

4 Do you long for perfect friendship,—
Love that naught can ever dim?
Jesus offers you this blessing,
You may find it all in Him.
