Lyrics

Now the Sav­ior in­vites you to come;
And fly to the arms of His love;
In His king­dom of grace there is room,
And a man­sion of glo­ry above.

Refrain

Over Jor­dan a home bright and fair,
Our Sav­ior has gone to pre­pare;
We shall rest by and by from our care,
In that home bright and fair.

Are you thirs­ty? Re­mem­ber the call;
O come, and sal­va­tion re­ceive,
For the fount­ain is open to all
Who will tru­ly re­pent and be­lieve.

Refrain

Are you weary and sigh­ing for rest?
To Je­sus your re­fuge re­pair;
He will pil­low your head on His breast,
If you seek Him by watch­ing and pray­er.
