Lyrics

Come to Christ, the Lord, trust­ing in His word,
In com­pas­sion He will hear your plea;
If you all con­fess, He will free­ly bless,
And sal­va­tion’s light with joy you’ll see.

Refrain

Come to Christ, the Lord, come to Christ, the Lord,
Leave, oh! leave grim dan­ger’s gloomy way;
Come to Christ, the Lord, come to Christ, the Lord,
In His fold there’s room for you to­day.

Come to Christ, the Lord, win the blest re­ward,
Given to the pe­ni­tent thro’ grace;
Soul, re­nounc­ing sin, life anew be­gin,
Strength im­plore the rug­ged way to trace.

Refrain

Come to Christ, the Lord, with a glad ac­cord,
Feeling that your bur­den He’ll re­move;
’Tis a wel­come true, sound­ing still to you
From the depths of His un­fail­ing love.

Refrain
