Verse 1
O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Lay on Him your weary soul; He will give you peace and pardon, Purify and make you whole.
Chorus
Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”?
Verse 2
O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Now He speaks so tenderly, “Come to Me, for you I’ve suffered, Bled and died on Calvary.”
Chorus
Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”?
Verse 3
O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Lay your heart at His dear feet; He will fold you in His bosom, And will make your rest complete.
Chorus
Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”?
Verse 4
O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Time is fleeting swiftly by; Still the loving Savior’s calling, Come, oh, come, why will you die?
Chorus
Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”?
Verse 5
O poor sinner, come to Jesus, Hasten, come, before too late; Lest the Spirit cease His wooing; Sad, then, sad will be your fate.
Chorus
Gently now the Spirit’s whisp’ring, Wooing, calling you today; Don’t you hear Him softly saying, Urging, pleading, “Don’t delay”?
