LyicsCome, tell me, wandering 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.
Now angels are attending
To waft the news above,
Your Saviour still presenting
The joys of pardoning love:
O! come, accept the offer
Of pardon and free grace,
And own his mighty power
In songs of love and praise.
He will remove your sorrow,
And grace and peace bestow;
Then leave not till to-morrow,
The joy he offers now;
This is the time accepted,
O may redeeming love,
No more by you rejected,
Your lasting solace prove.
