Sinner, Won't You Come to Jesus?

Representative Text

1 There’s a fountain opened within the house of David,
And whosoever will may come;
Ev’ry one may plunge in this ever flowing fountain,
Sinner, won’t you come to Jesus now?

Refrain:
Sinner, won’t you come to Jesus?
To that fountain flowing free for you,
Won’t you come and be cleansed from your sins,
Won’t you come to Jesus while He may be found?

2 Come with all your guilt, all ye weary, heavy laden,
Now in this fountain plunge today;
It will make you whole, heal your wounded broken spirit,
Sinner, won’t you come, come plunge and pray. [Refrain]

3 Jesus, I am coming, oh heal my broken spirit,
Oh! do not cast my soul away;
While the waters troubled within this great Bethesda,
Wash me in that fountain now, I pray. [Refrain]
