Come and Be Saved

Representative Text

1 There's an invitation from above,
Come and be saved, Come and be saved;
Jesus bids you to the feast of love,
Come and be saved.
Tho' your sins be scarlet, sinner, come,
Jesus bids the wand'ring soul come home;
Why in sorrow will you longer roam?
Come and be saved.

2 Are you weary, are you sore opprest?
Come and be saved, Come and be saved;
Jesus offers you a perfect rest,
Come and be saved.
Out of darkness into glorious light,
Out of sadness into strange delight,
Out of bondage, out of gloom and night,
Come and be saved.

3 Jesus offers you salvation free,
Come and be saved, Come and be saved;
To the shelter of His mercy flee,
Come and be saved.
In His blessed word He bids you come,
In His mercy there is ever room
For the prodigal who seeks a home,
Come and be saved.
