Lyrics

O sin­ner, won’t you come
To the Sav­ior to­night?
He’s anx­ious­ly wait­ing
To bring you to the light;
He of­fers you and me
His par­don, full and free,
O sin­ner, come to Je­sus now.

Refrain

Oh, hear His lov­ing voice,
’Tis Je­sus call­ing you,
Believe Him and thy soul shall live;
His par­don full and free,
Oh, can it ev­er be?
Yes, sin­ner, ’tis for you and me.

’Tis sim­ple just to trust
In the Sav­ior to­night,
Just trust now in Je­sus
To save you by His might;
He wants you for His own,
He calls to you, Come home,
O sin­ner, come to Je­sus now.

Refrain

Oh, pause and hear the call
Of the Sav­ior to­night;
Come out from the old way,
And walk the path of right;
Oh, hear His plead­ing voice,
Make Je­sus now your choice,
O sin­ner, come to Je­sus now.
