Author: Robert Harkness Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1513 Refrain First Line: Come, 'tis Jesus calls you Lyrics: 1. Far from God, away from Jesus, Straying in the paths of sin, Knowing not God’s full salvation, Jesus calls you midst earth’s din. Refrain Come, ’tis Jesus calls you; Come, without delay. He is willing now to save you; Come, O come today. 2. Why continue in your roaming? Jesus bids you come today. Mercy’s offer still is open; Why not come without delay? [Refrain] 3. How much longer will you tarry? How much longer will you roam? Listen, Jesus calls you to Him; Will you not at once come home? [Refrain] 4. Can you stay away from Jesus With eternity in view? Can you still reject His mercy When you hear His call so true? [Refrain] 5. You may almost come to Jesus, But almost will never save; For the soul that fully trusts Him On the cross His life He gave. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Far from God, away from Jesus]

Robert Harkness

1880 - 1961 Author of "Far from God, Away from Jesus" in The Cyber Hymnal After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
