Lyrics

Oh, sinner, come, do not delay,
But come to God, no longer stay;
Thy day of grace will soon be o’er,
When He shall plead with thee no more.

Refrain

Oh, come, then, come, no longer stay,
But trust in God, His Word obey;
Accept His Son who died for thee,
And bought thy pardon full and free.

Oh, sinner, come, God waits for thee,
And offers pardon full and free;
So great His love, His Son He gave,
To bleed and die thy soul to save.

Refrain

Oh, sinner, come, thou need’st not fear,
But Trust in Him, for He is near;
Yes, near to bless and save today,
Oh, haste to Him, the call obey.
