Lyrics

There’s a mes­sage from the Lord,
Will you come?
Hear it sound­ing from His Word,
Will you come?
Whosoever on His name will be­lieve,
Life eter­nal shall from Him re­ceive.

Refrain

He is call­ing you to­day, will you come?
To the on­ly liv­ing way, will you come?
Will you plunge beneath the flood
Of His all-aton­ing blood?
Will you be a child of God?
Will you come?

He has tar­ried long for you,
Will you come?
See, His locks are wet with dew,
Will you come?
He alone your ma­ny sins can for­give,
Will you look to Him by faith and live?

Refrain

Will you heed the Sav­ior’s call?
Will you come?
To the feast pre­pared for all,
Will you come?
You will find Him at the cross, wait­ing there,
With the gar­ment that your soul must wear.

Refrain
