Lyics

Come to Jesus, poor sinner, his promise believe;

To the penitent mourner sweet peace he can give;

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus! O come to the Savior and live!



Heavy laden and weary, Christ calls thee to come;

Leave the paths, dark and dreary, where long thou didst roam;

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus! Thy Savior will guide thee safe home.



Come and seek his salvation, he calls to thee today;

Hear the sweet invitation, no longer delay:

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus! O sinner, believe and obey!



Listen! angels are singing, God's love is their theme;

Praise to Jesus is ringing, our King reigns supreme;

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus! Our Savior is rich to redeem.



Satan lures thee to sorrow down sin's rugged way,

Saying "wait till tomorrow," when Christ calls today;

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus! Poor sinner, come yet while you may.
