Come to the Savior Now

Author: John M. Wigner Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come to the Savior now, he gently calls to you; in true repentance bow, let him your heart renew. Christ came that you may know salvation, peace, and love, true joy on earth below, a home in heaven above. 2 Come to the Savior now, all who have wandered far; renew your solemn vow, for his by right you are; come like poor, wandering sheep returning to his fold; his arm will safely keep, his love will ne'er grow cold. 3 Come to the Savior, now, he offers all to you, and on his merits you can plead for life anew. No vain excuses frame, respond to Christ today! None who to Jesus came were ever sent away. 4 Come to the Savior, all, whate'er your burdens be; hear now His loving call, "Cast all your care on me." Come, and for every grief, in Jesus you will find a sure and safe relief, a loving friend and kind.

Help me do what I should in all that comes my way; I know that you are good, you bless those who obey. 3 Keep me from saying words that later need recalling; guard me lest idle speech may from my lips be falling; but when within my place I must and ought to speak, then to my words give grace lest I offend the weak. 4 When dangers gather round, O keep me calm and fearless; help me to bear the cross when life seems dark and cheerless. Help me, as you have taught, to love both great and small, to speak the truth in love, to live at peace with all.
