16289. Come To Jesus Now

1 Sinner, now the Spir­it warns you,
Seek sal­va­tion while you may,
Now the door of mer­cy’s open,
But there’s dan­ger in de­lay.

Refrain:
Come to Je­sus, come to Je­sus,
At His feet now hum­bly bow;
Oh, de­lay not, oh, de­lay not;
But come, come to Je­sus now.

2 Heed the Gos­pel in­vi­ta­tion,
Fly to Christ from sin and shame;
Pardon now is of­fered free­ly,
Freely of­fered in His name. [Refrain]

3 Long you’ve halt­ed, doubt­ing, wav’ring,
Half per­suad­ed to ob­ey,
Long you’ve tar­ried at life’s por­tals,
O come in, come in to­day. [Refrain]

4 Wait no long­er, Je­sus calls you,
Now de­cide for Him to live;
Come and prove His bound­less mer­cy,
Prove how free­ly He’ll for­give. [Refrain]

5 Justified by faith in Je­sus,
All your doubts and fears will cease,
And your soul be­come God’s tem­ple,
Filled with light and love and peace. [Refrain]
