Why Not Come to Jesus?

F. E. Belden • English

Primary Scripture: Revelation 22:17

Verse 1

Why not come to Jesus? There is hope for thee; There is wondrous pardon, Offered full and free. Only trust his mercy, Ask and be forgiven; Why not come to Jesus? He is the way to heav'n.

Verse 2

Doubt his love no longer, Count all else but loss; Faith and hope grow stronger Taking up the cross. 'Tis a burden precious, Giving peace within; Why not come to Jesus, And leave thy load of sin?

Verse 3

Who has love so constant, Love so tried and true, Thus to die for sinners, Thus to die for you? At your heart he's knocking, Turn him not away; Why not come to Jesus? O, why not come today?

Verse 4

Now the Holy Spirit Whispers his dear name, Angels bending near you Bid you speak the same, Speak it while he's waiting, Speak it while you may; Why not come to Jesus? He waits to hear you pray.
