Oh, why thus stand with re­luc­tant feet
Just on the verge of the rest so sweet?
While God in­vites, and your steps will greet,
Will you come to Je­sus now?

Refrain

Will you come to Je­sus?
Will you come to Je­sus?
Will you come to Je­sus?
Will you come to Je­sus now?

The Spi­rit strives, and yet there you stand
In sight of bliss and the glo­ry-land;
Retreat is death in the sink­ing sand,
Will you come to Je­sus now?

Refrain

Your loved ones gone to the oth­er shore
With un­seen hands seem to beck­on o’er;
Their voic­es hushed, yet they still im­plore,
Will you come to Je­sus now?

Refrain

The touch of death is upon your frame,
The mar­ble slab soon will bear your name;
Lest you should suf­fer eter­nal shame,
Will you come to Je­sus now?

Refrain
