Come to the Saviour

Lyrics: v.1. George F. Root. Refrain & vs. 2&3 R.Mc.
Music: George F. Root.



Come to the Savior, make no delay;
Here in His Word He’s shown you the way;
Here in our midst He’s standing today,
Tenderly saying, “Come!”

Refrain:

Gracious Saviour, here’s my troubled soul
I am broken, You can make me whole,
Restore me Saviour, please take control.
So, I obey: I come. 

Come with your sorrows, come with your sin,
Christ can forgive you, life can begin,
He’ll give you comfort, He’ll take you in,
All that He asks is, “Come.” 

Hear now His offer, answer His call,
No more excuses, no longer stall,
Wide is His mercy, open to all
Boldly commanding, “Come.”

Original Words

Come to the Savior, make no delay;
Here in His Word He’s shown you the way;
Here in our midst He’s standing today,
Tenderly saying, “Come!”

Refrain
Joyful, joyful will the meeting be,
When from sin our hearts are pure and free;
And we shall gather, Savior, with Thee,
In our eternal home.

“Suffer the children!” oh, hear His voice!
Let ev’ry heart leap forth and rejoice;
And let us freely make Him our choice;
Do not delay, but come.

Think once again, He’s with us today;
Heed now His blest command, and obey;
Hear now His accents tenderly say,
“Will you, My children, come?”
