Representative Text

1. Jesus invites you to feast with Him now;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
If at His cross you will but meekly bow,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Jesus will pardon if you will confess;
Jesus will turn into joy your distress;
Jesus will save and most wondrously bless;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

2. If you but knew of the joy He’ll impart,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
You would most gladly surrender your heart;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
He’ll write your name in the Lamb’s book of life;
He’ll drive away all your sorrow and strife;
He’ll make your pathway with vict’ry more rife;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

3. Jesus is ready salvation to give,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Will you not hasten, and pardon receive?
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Now while He calls you, O brother, obey;
Now while He’s waiting, no longer delay;
Jesus is anxious to save you today;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

4. If you refuse Him a place in your heart,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
He may forever, and ever depart;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
If His sad death on the cross you despise,
Closing your heart against love’s sacrifice,
You at the last may be filled with surprise;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.
