Hymn

Come to the Savior

George F. Root

Come to the Savior, make no delay;

Here in His Word He's shown us the way;

Here in our midst He's standing today,

Tenderly saying, "Come!"

Joyful, joyful will the meeting be,

When from sin our hearts are pure and free;

And we shall gather, Savior, with Thee

In our eternal home.

"Suffer the children!" O hear His voice,

Let ev'ry heart leap forth and rejoice,

And let us freely make Him our choice;

Do not delay, but come!

Think once again he's with us today;

Heed now His blest commands, and obey;

Hear now His accents tenderly say,

"Will you, My children, come?"
