Lyrics

Jesus in­vites you to feast with Him now;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
If at His cross you will but meek­ly bow,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Jesus will par­don if you will con­fess;
Jesus will turn in­to joy your dis­tress;
Jesus will save and most won­drous­ly bless;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

If you but knew of the joy He’ll im­part,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
You would most glad­ly sur­ren­der your heart;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
He’ll write your name in the Lamb’s book of life;
He’ll drive away all your sor­row and strife;
He’ll make your path­way with vic­t’ry more rife;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

Jesus is rea­dy sal­va­tion to give,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Will you not hast­en, and par­don re­ceive?
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
Now while He calls you, O bro­ther, obey;
Now while He’s wait­ing, no long­er de­lay;
Jesus is anx­ious to save you to­day;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.

If you re­fuse Him a place in your heart,
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
He may for­ev­er, and ev­er de­part;
Come to Him now, come to Him now;
If His sad death on the cross you des­pise,
Closing your heart against love’s sac­ri­fice,
You at the last may be filled with sur­prise;
Come to Him now, come to Him now.
