Melodies of Salvation ‎#203

203. Come to the Saviour

1 Come to the Saviour, O do not delay!
Come while His mercy is offered today!
Soon may you drift to eternity’s shore,
Where Jesus will call you no more.

Chorus:
O why not today the Saviour obey!
Accept of His peace and His rest!
When He is confessed, your soul shall be blessed,
O come to the Saviour today!

2 Come to the Saviour, believing His word,
Come notwithstanding how long you have erred,
Soon may the day of salvation be past,
Is this invitation your last? [Chorus]

3 Come to the Saviour, His witnesses plead,
Come as they earnestly urge you to heed,
Soon may the cry of the Bridegroom arise,
Will you then be foolish or wise? [Chorus]

4 Come to the Saviour, His spirit doth call,
Come e’er the world shall your spirit enthrall,
Soon may the pleasures of earth be forgot,
And sorrow forever your lot. [Chorus]
