294. Jesus is Waiting to Save

1 Why do you linger in darkness so long?
Jesus is waiting to save; (you now;)
Have you not friends in the heavenly throng,
Jesus is waiting to save. (you now.)

Chorus:
Come to Him now, come to Him now,
Jesus is waiting to save; (you now;)
Come to Him now, come to Him now,
Jesus is waiting to save. (you now.)

2 Leave the broad road and the narrow way choose,
Jesus is waiting to save; (you now;)
Angels are longing to tell the glad news,
Jesus is waiting to save. (you now.) [Chorus]

3 Time will not linger; how soon we must go!
Jesus is waiting to save; (you now;)
Why turn away and to Jesus say, No?
Jesus is waiting to save. (you now.) [Chorus]

4 While we are praying, oh, stay not away,
Jesus is waiting to save; (you now;)
Come to Him now, not a moment delay,
Jesus is waiting to save. (you now.) [Chorus]
