Refrain: Flash the news along the line, Jesus waits to save, Waits to save with pow’r divine, Jesus waits to save. 2 O the glad and welcome news, Jesus waits to save; Who could such great love refuse? Jesus waits to save; He is here in love today While we plead and pray, And He waits, O soul! to bear All your sins away. [Refrain] 3 O what wondrous grace is this, Jesus waits to save; Would you know God’s perfect peace? Jesus waits to save; Lo, He standeth at the door, Knocketh o’er and o’er, In the tones of tend’rest love Pleading evermore.
