If you know Geesey or Mahaffey’s full name, or where to get their photos,
We hear Thy tender, loving voice,
Which saith Come unto Me,
That I may all your burdens bear,
And let your souls be free.
Refrain
Coming, blessèd Jesus,
Coming now to Thee;
Coming, yes, we’re coming,
Thro’ Thy grace so free.
We know we’ve wandered far away,
Upon forbidden ground,
But we rejoice, O blessèd thought,
Thou may’st be always found.
Refrain
Oh, wondrous love! Oh, grace divine!
That saves us from the fall;
While mercy stands, with outstretched hands,
We will accept the call.
