Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #38 (1845) First Line: Why wanderest thou so far from home? Refrain First Line: To the Saviour fly Lyrics: 1 Why wanderest thou so far from home?
Fly to Jesus!
The vilest of the vile may come:
Fly to Jesus!
Chorus:
To the Saviour fly--
To his shielding breast,
Fly to Jesus!
Lay thy burden there--
He will give thee rest;
Fly to Jesus!
2 The tempter whispers, "yet delay:"
Fly to Jesus!
Resist his wiles and come to-day;
Fly to Jesus! [Chorus]
3 To-day thy homeward pathway trace;
Fly to Jesus!
Long hast thou toil'd in folly's ways;
Fly to Jesus! [Chorus]
4 Thy toils have only brought thee woes;
Fly to Jesus!
O! tarry not--the door may close;
Fly to Jesus! [Chorus]
5 Come, feast on joys divinely pure;
Fly to Jesus!
Come, and eternal life secure;
Fly to Jesus! [Chorus]
