1 Come, come! weary one, come;
Come unto me, come unto me!
Lost one, weary and worn,
Jesus is calling to thee.

Refrain:
Come while in love He pleadeth,
Come ere the night-tide falls;
Come and find rest in Jesus,
Come while in love He calls.

2 Come, come! why dost thou wait?
Careless one, come, careless one, come!
Haste! haste! be not too late!
Jesus is calling thee home. [Refrain]

3 Come, come! yet there is room!
Doubting one, come, doubting one, come!
Light shall scatter thy gloom,
Jesus is calling thee home. [Refrain]
