HYMN: Come to the Saviour make no delay | W a s’odo Jesu, mase duro

ENGLISH LYRICS

Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest” Matt.11:28

1.  Come to the Saviour make no delay

    Here in His word He has shown us the way;

    Here in our midst He's standing today

    Tenderly saying, ˜Come"

Chorus:

    Joyful, joyful, will the meeting be

    When from sin our hearts are pure and free;

    And we shall gather, Saviour, with Thee

    In our eternal home

2. ˜Suffer the children" Oh, hear His voice!

    Let ev'ry heart leap forth and rejoice,

    And let us freely make Him our choice

    Do not delay, but come

3. Think once again, He's with us today

    Heed now His blest command, and obey,

    Hear now His accents tenderly say,

    "Will you, my children, come?"

Amen.
