Showers of Blessing ‎#30

30. I will Go to Jesus Now

1 I will go to Jesus now, while the Holy Spirit calls,
On my heart his invitation like the evening dewdrops falls;
I will seek the cleansing fountain that is open now for me,
I will take my sins to Jesus, and accept his grace so free.

Refrain:
I will go to Jesus now, he is ready to forgive;
I will go to Jesus now, he is waiting to receive;
Praise the Lord for free salvation, where the blood-stained banner waves;
Oh, this great, almighty Saviour! to the uttermost he saves.

2 I will go to Jesus now; need I question him or doubt?
Here’s the faithful word of promise, “I will never cast thee out;”
Oh, to trust him, trust him wholly, whatsoever may oppose,
There is victory with Jesus, for he conquers all his foes. [Refrain]

3 I will go to Jesus now; ‘tis the glory of his name
That he saves the “chief of sinners,” that to seek the lost he came;
Oh, my stony heart is broken when his outstretched hands I see,
Wounded hands, O loving Saviour! wounded unto death for me. [Refrain]

4 I will go to Jesus now, for the welcome feast is spread,
Angel harps ring out in rapture when they live who once were dead;
Now the Shepherd is rejoicing e’en one wand’rer to restore;
He will lead me on to heaven, he will save me evermore. [Refrain]
