1 If you want to know the Savior,
Not an hour need you delay,
He is pleading, gently pleading,
O accept Him while you may;
Even now if you will heed Him,
At the cross of mercy bow,
All your sin shall be forgiven,
You can know Him now.

Chorus:
You can know Him now,
You can know Him now,
If you want to know the Savior,
You can know Him now,
You can know Him now
I will tell you how:
If you take Him as your Savior,
You can know Him now.

2 If you want to know the Savior,
And the love that satisfies,
Find the joy of boundless measure,
That His wondrous grace supplies;
‘Tis for you the very moment,
When you make this holy vow,
“I will take Him as my Savior,”
You can know Him now. [Chorus]

3 If you want to know the Savior,
In that land of cloudless day,
With its bright supernal glories,
That shall never pass away;
You must meet him on life’s pathway;
Place the crown upon His brow,
Do not wait until tomorrow,
You can know Him now. [Chorus]
