Come to the ark, come to the ark

Verse 1

Come to the ark, come to the ark; To Jesus come away: The pestilence walks forth by night, The arrows fly by day.

Verse 2

Come to the ark: the waters rise, The seas their billows rear; While darkness gathers o'er the skies, Behold a refuge near!

Verse 3

Come to the ark, all, all that weep Beneath the sense of sin: Without, deep calleth unto deep, But all is peace within.

Verse 4

Come to the ark, ere yet the flood Your lingering steps oppose; Come, for the door which open stood Is now about to close.
