Hymnal: The Welcome Voice #80 (1884) First Line: Oh, come to the Saviour to-day Refrain First Line: The Saviour is calling to-day Lyrics: 1 Oh, come to the Saviour to-day, 'Tis folly to wait for to-morrow; Then why will you longer delay? To-morrow may fill you with sorrow. Chorus: The Saviour is calling to-day, Oh, bring him your trouble and sorrow; Come, bow at his footstool and pray, It may be too late on to-morrow. 2 Oh, look at the cross where he died, And think of his anguish and sorrow? Then give up your folly and pride, It may be too late on to-morrow. [Chorus] 3 How many have gone to the grave, Whose end was destruction and sorrow; Oh, would you have Jesus to save: Then wait not to seek him to-morrow. [Chorus] 4 Then fly to the Saviour to-day, And walk in the way that is narrow, 'Twill lead you from folly away, And give you a joyous to-morrow. [Chorus]
