Coming to the Savior’s Cross

lyricist: John H. Kurzenknabe, 1889
Composer: John E. Kurzenknabe

Coming to the Sav­ior’s cross

Hallowed cross

sav­ing cross;

Poor and needy

sin-sick

blind

Bring thy bur­dens; thou shalt find

Here a true and ten­der friend

At the sav­ing cross.

Hear the in­vi­ta­tion—Come!

Why in sin yet long­er roam?

Hasten

sin­ner

hith­er come

While yet there’s room.

Coming to the Sav­ior’s blood

Crimson blood

sav­ing blood;

Precious fount that flows for thee

From the cross of Cal­va­ry;

Have a cleans­ing full and free

In the sav­ing blood.

Coming to the Sav­ior’s love

Wondrous love

sav­ing love;

Arms are op­en to re­ceive

All thy sins He will for­give

If thou on­ly canst be­lieve

In that sav­ing love.

Coming to the Sav­ior’s home

Blessèd home

eter­nal home;

Friends and loved ones there we’ll see

Crowns and palms of vic­to­ry;

Safe through all eter­ni­ty

In that bless­èd home.
