O Sinners, Come To Jesus!

(Author H. E. Govan)

 

O sinners, come to Jesus!

All other trust is vain;

Your every hope must fail you

Unless you’re born again.

You need the cleansing fountain

To purge your heart within,

And purify your conscience

From all the stains of sin.

 

You need to come to Jesus

And find in Him your rest,

Confiding in His goodness,

Reclining on His breast.

You need the voice of Jesus

To whisper “go in peace!”

To calm the inward tempest,

And bid the conflict cease.

 

You need the power of Jesus

To keep you day by day,

To guard amid temptations

And be your strength and stay,

You need the love of Jesus;

You need this faithful Friend,

To cheer you and to bless you

And guide you to the end.

 

Then will you come to Jesus,

In spite of fear and doubt?

He’s waiting now to save you,

And will not cast you out,

If but, in true repentance,

Before His cross you bow,

He’ll give you free forgiveness,

And full Salvation –now.
