Lyrics

The voice of the Sav­ior says, Come;
The cross where He died is in sight;
E’en now at the cross there is room;
Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?

Refrain

Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?
Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?
The Bride and the Spir­it in­vite;
Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?

The voice of the Fa­ther im­plores
From mer­cy’s most won­der­ful height;
His love in that call He out­pours:
Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?

Refrain

The voic­es of loved ones en­treat:
You know in your heart they are right;
Then list, for the mo­ments are fleet!
Are you com­ing to Je­sus to­night?

Refrain

The voic­es of friends gone be­fore
Seem float­ing from re­gions of light;
They ten­der­ly say o’er and o’er,
Are you com­ing to Je­sus ton­ight?

Refrain

O who to him­self will be true,
Of all whom these voic­es in­vite?
Who an­swers, my bro­ther, do you?
Are you com­ing to Je­sus ton­ight?
