Lyics

Come, tell me wand'ring sinner,

Say whither do you roam,

O'er this wide world a stranger-

Have you no Saviour known?

He calls you to his bosom,

But, ah! you still delay:

He'll fit your soul for heaven,

And guide you in the way.



Angels are now attending

To waft the news above,

Your Saviour still presenting

The joys of pard'ning love:

O! come, accept the offer,

Of pardon and free grace,

And own the mighty power

In songs of love and praise.



All your sorrows he'll remove,

His grace and peace bestow;

Heaven's glories you shall prove,

As angels now do know.

All his love can ne'er be told,

While here on earth we stay;

Still his glory will unfold

In realms of endless day.
