Lyrics

Now the Sav­ior invites you to come;
And fly to the arms of His love;
In His kingdom of grace there is room,
And a mansion of glo­ry above.

Refrain

Over Jordan a home bright and fair,
Our Sav­ior has gone to prepare;
We shall rest by and by from our care,
In that home bright and fair.

Are you thirsty? Remember the call;
O come, and sal­va­tion receive,
For the fountain is open to all
Who will truly repent and be­lieve.

Refrain

Are you weary and sighing for rest?
To Je­sus your refuge repair;
He will pillow your head on His breast,
If you seek Him by watching and prayer.
