1 Hear the Savior's pleading call, "Come unto me."
And there never was a friend better than He;
He is ready to receive, all who believe,
You will never find a time better than now!
Refrain:
You will never find a time, better than now;
Come you, heed His pleading voice, unto Him bow,
He'll embrace you in His arms,
O, there are so many charms;
You will never find a time better than now!
2 There's salvation full and free, for ev'ry one,
Who will hear His pleading voice, unto Him come;
He's inviting, "come to-day," haste you away,
You will never find a time better than now! [Refrain]
3 Still the waves of sin are you, tossing about,
Christ the Lord can this undo, no longer doubt;
This He promised unto all, heeding His call,
You will never find a time better than now! [Refrain]
4 You will never find a time better than now,
Mercy calls and mercy waits, unto Him bow;
Let Him cleanse you make you free, happy to be,
You will never find a time better than now! [Refrain]
