(1 John 1:5-10 ESV)
(verses in black in our hymnal)
Come to the Savior now,
He gently calleth thee;
In true repentance bow,
Before Him bend the knee;
He waiteth to bestow
Salvation, peace, and love,
True joy on earth below,
A home in Heav’n above.
Come to the Saviour Now
Gaze on that crimson tide
Water and Blood that flow
Forth from his wounded side
Hark to the suffering one
"T is finished" now he cries
Redemptions work is done
Then Bows His head and dies.
Come to the Savior now,
Ye who have wandered far;
Renew your solemn vow,
For His by right you are;
Come, like poor wand’ring sheep
Returning to His fold;
His arm will safely keep,
His love will ne’er grow cold.
Come to the Saviour Now
He offers all to you
and on his merits you
can plead for life anew
No vain excuses frame
respond to Christ today
None whom to Jesus came
were ever sent away.
Come to the Savior, all,
Whate’er your burdens be;
Hear now His loving call,
“Cast all your care on Me.”
Come, and for ev’ry grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief,
A loving Friend and kind.
