322. Oh! Come to Jesus, Children, Come

8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6.
1
Oh! come to Jesus, children, come,
 
Don’t delay, don’t delay;
 
Secure a place in heaven’s bright home,
 
While ’tis day, while ’tis day;
 
That blessed home is filling fast,
 
And mercy’s day will soon be past,
 
Soon saints shall hear the trumpet’s blast;
 
Come away, come away.
2
Oh, sad, if thou shouldst be too late — 
 
Don’t delay, don’t delay;
 
Arise, and enter mercy’s gate,
 
While ’tis day, while ’tis day;
 
A loving Savior will appear
 
To meet thee, and to bless thee, there;
 
Draw nigh and His salvation share;
 
Come away, come away.
3
His blood can wash the vilest clean,
 
Don’t delay, don’t delay;
 
Oh, come, confessing what thou’st been,
 
While ’tis day, while ’tis day;
 
A full salvation, vast and free,
 
Wrought out, by Christ, awaiteth thee;
 
Come then at once, and happy be;
 
Come away, come away.
