If you know when this song was writ­ten

A lawyer from the West sank so low as to be­come a tramp on the streets of New York. He was fif­ty-four years old and a home­less, pen­ni­less wretch. As he stum­bled by the Flor­ence Mis­sion one night the win­dows were open and he stopped a mo­ment to list­en to the sing­ing…It came like the voice of God to him. His ear­ly train­ing had been Christ­ian, and he thought he would go in. He did so, and as he took his seat, they were sing­ing the se­cond verse…He real­ized that this was a truth­ful pic­ture of his own life, and list­ened to the third verse…Deep­ly con­vict­ed, he jumped to his feet and said, “I will yield, I will seek the Sav­ior’s side.” He was con­vert­ed, and at­tend­ed the meet­ings reg­u­lar­ly. He se­cured good em­ploy­ment, wrote to his fam­i­ly, and be­com­ing re­con­ciled to his wife and child­ren, he re­turned West to the old home, where he lived as an ear­nest Christ­ian.


Once again the Gospel message
From the Savior you have heard;
Will you heed the invitation?
Will you turn and seek the Lord?

Refrain

Come believing! come believing!
Come to Jesus! look and live!
Come believing! come believing!
Come to Jesus! look and live!

Many summers you have wasted,
Ripened harvests you have seen;
Winter snows by spring have melted,
Yet you linger in your sin.

Refrain

Jesus for your choice is waiting;
Tarry not: at once decide!
While the Spirit now is striving,
Yield, and seek the Savior’s side.

Refrain

Cease of fitness to be thinking;
Do not longer try to feel;
It is trusting, and not feeling,
That will give the Spirit’s seal.

Refrain

Let your will to God be given,
Trust in Christ’s atoning blood;
Look to Jesus now in Heaven,
Rest on His unchanging Word.
