355. COME TO THE SAVIOR,

Come to the Savior, make no delay; -Here in His Word He has shown us the way; -Here in our midst He’s standing today, -Tenderly saying, “Come!”

Refrain

Joyful, joyful will the meeting be,-When from sin our hearts are pure and free;-And we shall gather, Savior, with Thee,
In our eternal home.

“Suffer the children!” oh, hear His voice! -Let ev’ry heart leap forth and rejoice;-And let us freely make Him our choice;-Do not delay, but come.

Refrain

Think once again, He’s with us today;-Heed now His blest command, and obey;-Hear now His accents tenderly say,
“Will you, My children, come?”

Refrain

George F. Root, 1870
