The New Christian Hymnal ‎#391

391. Come to the Savior

1. Come to the Savior, make no delay;
Here in His Word He's shown us 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.

2. "Suffer the children!" O hear His voice,
Let ev'ry heart leap forth and rejoice,
And let us freely make Him our choice;
Do not delay, but come! [Refrain]

3. Think once again he's with us today;
Heed now His blest commands, and obey;
Hear now His accents tenderly say,
"Will you, My children, come?" [Refrain]
