Lyics

Come, 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.
