Why Not Come to Him Now?

A. S. Dobbs • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 36:9

Verse 1

I now am so happy in Jesus’ sweet love, No sorrow my heart can control; I’m washed in the fountain that flowed from His side, And Jesus gives peace to my soul.

Chorus

Then, friends, why not come and find pardon today? Why not come, why not come? The Saviour is waiting, why longer delay? O come to the fountain today.

Verse 2

I know I’m a sinner, a sinner redeemed, A brand taken out of the flame; I’ll let my light shine so that others may see, And praise my Immanuel’s name.

Chorus

Then, friends, why not come and find pardon today? Why not come, why not come? The Saviour is waiting, why longer delay? O come to the fountain today.

Verse 3

The way is so simple the foolish may run, The halt and the blind may come too; Tho' crimson your stains, and like scarlet your sins, The blood makes them whiter than snow.

Chorus

Then, friends, why not come and find pardon today? Why not come, why not come? The Saviour is waiting, why longer delay? O come to the fountain today.
