1 The voice of the Savior says "Come;"
The cross where He died is in sight;
E'en now at the cross there is room:
Are you coming to Jesus tonight?

Chorus:
Are you coming to Jesus tonight?
Are you coming to Jesus tonight?
The Bride and the Spirit invite:
Are you coming to Jesus tonight?

2 The voice of the Father implores
From mercy's most wonderful height;
His love in that call He outpours:
Are you coming to Jesus tonight? [Chorus]

3 The voices of loved ones entreat:
You know in your heart they are right;
Then list, for the moments are fleet!
Are you coming to Jesus tonight? [Chorus]

4 The voices of friends gone before
Seem floating from regions of light;
They tenderly say o'er and o'er,
Are you coming to Jesus tonight? [Chorus]

5 O who to himself will be true,
Of all whom these voices invite?
Who answers, my brother, do you?
Are you coming to Jesus tonight? [Chorus]
