Representative Text

1 Mercy in Jesus, my brother,
Offers to you and to me,
Pardon for all that we owe Him,
Perfect, enduring and free.

Chorus:
Jesus is able and willing,
Jesus is calling today.
Willing to save,
Able to save,
Why should we longer delay?

2 Long have we wander’d in darkness,
Groping in sorrow and sin,
Bringing no tithes to His storehouse,
Freely He bids us “Come in.” [Chorus]

3 Nothing is gain’d by delaying,
Weary with toiling and strife,
He is the Lord of the harvest,
He is the fountain of life. [Chorus]
