Lyrics

Oh come to the Sav­ior,
Believe in His name,
And ask Him your heart to re­new;
He waits to be gra­cious,
O turn not away,
For now there is par­don for you.

Refrain

Yes, there is par­don for you,
Yes, there is par­don for you;
For Je­sus has died to re­deem you,
And of­fers full par­don to you.

The way of trans­gress­ion
That leads un­to death,
Oh, why will you long­er pur­sue?
How can you re­ject
The sweet mes­sage of love
That of­fers full par­don for you?

Refrain

Be warned of your dan­ger;
Escape to the cross;
Your on­ly sal­va­tion is there;
Believe, and that mo­ment
The Spir­it of grace
Will an­swer your pe­ni­tent pray­er.

Refrain
