Representative Text

1 Sinner, now the Spirit warns you,
Seek salvation while you may,
Now the door of mercy’s open,
But there’s danger in delay.

Refrain:
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus
At His feet now humbly bow,
Oh, delay not, oh, delay not,
But come, come to Jesus now.

2 Heed the Gospel invitation,
Fly to Christ form sin and shame;
Pardon now is offered freely,
Freely offered in His name. [Refrain]

3 Long you’ve halted, doubting, wav’ring,
Half persuaded to obey,
Long you’ve tarried at life’s portals,
O come in, come in today. [Refrain]

4 Wait no longer, Jesus calls you,
Now decide for Him to live;
Come and prove His boundless mercy,
Prove how freely He’ll forgive. [Refrain]

5 Justified by faith in Jesus,
All your doubts and fears will cease,
And your soul become God’s temple,
Filled with light and love and peace. [Refrain]
