1 “Come near to me,” thy Master speaks,
Oh, why this long delay?
Thou art the soul that Jesus seeks,
He calleth thee today.
Refrain:
Come near, come near, for I am He,
Who teacheth thee,
Who leadeth thee
In the way that thou shouldst go.
2 Come near, and meet Him face to face,
Thy Saviour crucified;
Accept His pardon, seek His grace,
And close to Him abide. [Refrain]
3 Oh, haste and come, ere darkness falls,
The call rings loud and clear;
‘Tis He, thy great Redeemer calls,
The heav’nly message hear. [Refrain]
4 Afar from Him when fears o’ertake,
How shalt thou find thy way?
Before the storms of sorrow break,
Come near to Him today. [Refrain]
