Come to Jesus! Come Away

Come to Je­sus! come away;

Forsake thy sins

oh

why de­lay?

His arms are op­en night and day

He waits to wel­come thee.

Come to Je­sus! sin no more

But on thy bend­ed knees im­plore

And knock in faith at mer­cy’s door

He’s sure to wel­come thee.

Come to Je­sus! lift an eye:

There’s pray­er in ev­ery con­trite sigh

And ev­ery groan

for God is nigh

He’ll bow His ear to thee.

Come to Je­sus! all is free

Hark! how He calls

Come un­to Me!

I cast none out

I’ll par­don thee.

Oh

thou shalt wel­come be.

Come to Je­sus! cling to Him

He’ll keep thee far from paths of sin

Thou shalt at last the vic­to­ry win;

And He will wel­come thee.

Come to Je­sus! do not stand

The Fa­ther draws—’tis His com­mand

And none shall pluck thee from His hand

No—that can nev­er be.

Come to Je­sus! Lord

I come;

Weary of sin

no more I’d roam

But with my Sav­ior be at home;

I know He’ll wel­come me.
