1 Are you coming to the Savior now,
In the brightness of your youthful days?
Are you coming at His feet to bow
And to offer Him your thankful praise?

Refrain:
Are you coming?
Are you coming?
Will you not His pard’ning mercy crave?
Are you coming?
Are you coming?
Are you coming while He waits to save?

2 Are you coming to the Savior now,
While ‘tis easy to forsake the wrong?
Will you follow where He leads the way,
Will you gladly unto Him belong? [Refrain]

3 Are you coming to the Savior now,
While the door of mercy open stands?
Do not linger! soon ‘twill be too late,
Yield yourself unto the Lord’s commands. [Refrain]
