1 I’m going now to Jesus,
I’ve heard His gracious call;
I’ll go tho’ faint and weary,
And at His feet I’ll fall.

Refrain:
I’m glad that He has bid me
Come unto Him and rest;
I know He will receive me,
And make me truly blest.

2 I’m going now to Jesus,
No more will slight His grace;
I’ll go, and with true sorrow,
Will seek His loving face. [Refrain]

3 I’m going now to Jesus,
I cannot longer wait;
I’ll go and seek His mercy,
For soon ‘twill be too late. [Refrain]
