LyicsO COME to Christ! a single glance
Would melt your doubts away;
One glance would flood you with His light,
In an eternal day.--CHO.
Chorus.--O come with-out delay, (O come, O come with-out delay,)
O come to-day! (O come, O come with-out de-lay,)
O come to Christ! a single glance
Would melt your doubts away.
O come to Christ! He waits for you;
Long has He, waiting, stood;
He stoops to ask you for your heart;
He yearns to do you good.--CHO.
O come to Christ! the world has prov'd
To thee a broken reed;
Thou canst not trust what always fails
In times of sorest need.--CHO.
O come to Christ for peace, for rest,
For all thy heart can crave;
For triumph over pain and loss,
The death-bed and the grave.--CHO.
