The Pleading Savior

Jesus calls thee

wan­d’rer

come;

Calls to­day

calls to­day

Longs to bid thee wel­come home

Home to­day

home to­day;

Wondrous love His heart doth feel

Wondrous love He would re­veal

For His own thy life would seal

Seal to­day

seal to­day.

Come to­day

come to­day

Hear the bless­èd Sav­ior say:

I will cleanse thy sins away;

Why de­lay? why de­lay?

Patiently He waits for thee

Waits to­day

waits to­day

Offers full sal­va­tion free

Free to­day

free to­day;

Wouldst thou know His sav­ing grace?

Wouldst thou feel His strong em­brace?

Thro’ thy life His fa­vor trace?

Yield to­day

yield to­day.

He will cleanse your sins away

All away

all away;

Why de­lay the glo­ri­ous day?

Why de­lay? why de­lay?

Oh

the joy you might re­ceive

If on Him you would be­lieve

Thought nor fan­cy can con­ceive:

Don’t de­lay

don’t de­lay.

Now He pleads with ten­der voice

Pleads to­day

pleads to­day

Make His love your sac­red choice

Choose to­day

choose to­day;

Shall His plead­ing be re­fused?

Shall His mer­cy be abused?

Come

by grace di­vine en­thused

Come to­day

come to­day.
