Representative Text

1 ¡Oh, no rechaces la verdad!,
Tus ojos hoy abre a la luz,
Renuncia toda la maldad,
Y ven a Jesús.

Refrain: ¡Oh, ven sin tardar!
¡Oh, ven sin tardar!
Acepta a Jesús, y salvo serás.

2 Tus ojos ya tal vez el sol,
No más aquí contemplaran;
Hoy es el día de salvación,
¡Oh, ven a Jesús! [Refrain]

3 Jesús te tiene compasión,
¿Con que su amor le pagaras?
Hoy trae a él tu corazón,
Y salvo serás. [Refrain]

4 Jesús recibe al pecador,
Que quiera a él su alma unir;
Ya no desprecies más su amor,
¡Oh ven a Jesús! [Refrain]
