13. Come Here, Lord!

Refrain:
Come, here, Lord! come here, Lord! come here Lord!
Sinners, crying, "Come here Lord!"
Come, here, Lord! come here, Lord! come here Lord!
Sinners, crying, "Come here Lord!"

1 O, little did I think He was so night,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!"
He spoke,and He made me laugh and cry,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!" [Refrain]

2 O mourners, if you will believe,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!"
The grace of God you will receive.
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!" [Refrain]

3 Some seek God's face, but don't seek right,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!"
Pray a little by day and none at night,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!" [Refrain]

4 O sinner, now you had better pray,
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!"
For Satan's 'round you ev'ry day.
Sinners crying, "Come here, Lord!" [Refrain]
