Lyrics

O come, sin­ner, come, there’s room for thee,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call;
O come and re­ceive sal­va­tion free,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call.

Refrain

O come and rest, come and rest,
Heavy la­den, guilt op­pressed;
O come and rest, come and rest,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call.

O come, thy Re­deem­er waits to­day,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call;
Now wash in His blood Thy sins away;
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call.

Refrain

Come, lay at His feet thy wea­ry soul,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call;
Thy faith in His name will make thee whole,
Hark! ’tis mer­cy’s call.
