O Come to the Merciful Savior

lyricist: Frederick Faber, 1854
Composer: Robert Lowry, 1880

O come to the mer­ci­ful Sav­ior who calls you

O come to the Lord who for­gives and for­gets;

Tho’ dark be the for­tune on earth that be­falls you

A bright home awaits you whose sun nev­er sets.

O come then to Je­sus

whose arms are ex­tend­ed

To fold His dear child­ren in clos­est em­brace;

O come

for your ex­ile will short­ly be end­ed

And Je­sus will show you the light of His face.

Then come to the Sav­ior

whose mer­cy grows bright­er

The long­er you look at the depths of His love;

And fear not

’tis Je­sus

and life’s cares grow light­er

While think­ing of home and the glo­ry ab­ove.
