Nevére már talán ráuntál? Nagy baj, ha Nélküle meghalnál! Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! Kar: Jössz-e már Jézushoz? Jössz-e már Jézushoz? Jössz-e már Jézushoz? Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! 2 Mondd, m’ért állsz ott, lábad nem mozdul, A hívó szó egyszer elhalkul. Míg Isten hív, amíg tart a ma, Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! [Kar] 3 A Lélek küzd érted, értsed meg, Az üdvöt Jézusban ragadd meg, Ki meghátrál, arra romlás vár, Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! [Kar] 4 Szeretteid már a mennyben fent. Emlékük kísér e földön lent. A kérésük, bár szavuk néma: Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! [Kar] 5 Halálod el nem kerülheted, De kérheted örök üdvödet. A végső nap hamar eljöhet, Jézus vár rád, jöjj még ma! [Kar] Used With Tune: [Bár Jézusról sokszor hallottál]

John M. Whyte

1850 - 1927 Person Name: J. M. W. Author of "Will You Come to Jesus?" in Joyful Sound John M. (Marchant) Whyte. Evangelist, hymn writer, singer, b Paris, Canada West (Ontario), 8 Jun 1850, d Toronto 17 Mar 1927. He studied at the University of Toronto and devoted himself to evangelistic and temperance work. Typical of several hundred songs for which he wrote the words or the music, or both, are 'Canada Shall Yet Be Free,' 'Toronto the Good,' and 'Song of Trust.' Many songs appeared in separate editions published by Toronto News Co or Briggs. With his brother David Albert Whyte he edited Sing Out the Glad News (Briggs 1885) and Songs of Calvary (Briggs 1889). The Great Redemption (Briggs 1894), Nuggets of Gold (Briggs 1898) and Battle Songs of the Cross (1901) contain many of his own melodies. Eight of his hymns are reprinted in CMH vol 5. The editor of the reprint, John Beckwith, has concluded that 'Come Away to Jesus Now' and 'Jesus Is Calling You Now' may have enjoyed a measure of popularity.
