Representative Text

1 The Spirit in our hearts
Is whispering, "Sinner, come."
The bride, the church of Christ, proclaims
To all His children, "Come!"

2 Let him that heareth say
To all about him, "Come;"
Let him that thirst for righteousness
To Christ, the fountain, come.

3 Yes, whosoever will,
O let him freely come
And freely drink the stream of life;
'Tis Jesus bids him come.

4 Lo! Jesus, who invites,
Declares, "I quickly come."
Lord, even so, we wait Thy hour;
O blest Redeemer, come.
