Far from God, away from Jesus,
Straying in the paths of sin,
Knowing not God’s full salvation,
Jesus calls you midst earth’s din.
Come, ’tis Jesus calls you;
Come, without delay.
He is willing now to save you;
Come, O come today.
Why continue in your roaming?
Jesus bids you come today.
Mercy’s offer still is open;
Why not come without delay?
Come, ’tis Jesus calls you;
Come, without delay.
He is willing now to save you;
Come, O come today.
How much longer will you tarry?
How much longer will you roam?
Listen, Jesus calls you to Him;
Will you not at once come home?
Come, ’tis Jesus calls you;
Come, without delay.
He is willing now to save you;
Come, O come today.
Can you stay away from Jesus
With eternity in view?
Can you still reject His mercy
When you hear His call so true?
Come, ’tis Jesus calls you;
Come, without delay.
He is willing now to save you;
Come, O come today.
You may almost come to Jesus,
But “almost” will never save;
For the soul that “fully” trusts Him
On the cross His life He gave.
Come, ’tis Jesus calls you;
Come, without delay.
He is willing now to save you;
Come, O come today.
