Oh, will you come? 3 Jesus bids you come, Jesus bids you come, Voices may not always call you, “Late, too late,” may yet befall you; “Why will ye die?” “Why will ye die?” 4 Jesus bids you come, Jesus bids you come, Where ‘tis love and joy forever, Where we’ll meet to part, no, never; Sinner, come home, Oh, come, come home.

Will L. Thompson

1847 - 1909 Person Name: W. L. T. Author of "Jesus Bids You Come" in Crowning Day No. 3 Will Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909) Born: November 7, 1847, East Liverpool, Ohio. Died: September 20, 1909, New York, New York. Buried: Riverview Cemetery, East Liverpool, Ohio. Rebuffed in an early attempt to sell his songs to a commercial publisher, Thompson started his own publishing company. He later expanded, opening a store to sell pianos, organs and sheet music. Both a lyricist and composer, he ensured he would always remember words or melodies that came to him at odd times: "No matter where I am, at home or hotel, at the store or traveling, if an idea or theme comes to me that I deem worthy of a song, I jot it down in verse. In this way I never lose it." Thompson took ill during a tour of Europe, and his family cut short their travels to return home. He died a few weeks later.
