Come, O Come

Representative Text

1 Hear the loving Master calling,
“Come to Me, oh, come to Me;”
He will keep you safe from falling,
He from sin will make you free.

Refrain:
Come, oh, come and serve the Master
He is waiting for you now;
Don’t refuse His invitation,
At His feet, oh, early bow.

2 Pleads a voice from realms of glory,
“Come to Me, oh, come to Me;”
Let me hear the old, old story,
How He died upon the tree. [Refrain]

3 Jesus comes with words of pleading,
“Come to Me, oh, come to Me;”
He is for me interceding,
Let me look, believe, and see. [Refrain]
