"They Shall Come"

[KenH]

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

"They Shall Come"

1. The people of Jehovah's choice,
Are register'd on high,
And they shall hear His sov'reign voice,
And by His grace draw nigh.

2. Far off, deprav'd, and prone to stray,
But they shall surely come,
For cov'nant love marks out the way,
And brings the outcasts home.

3. Yes, they shall come, 'tis heav'n's decree,
They shall to Jesus bow -
This precious shall come conquer'd me,
And gives me comfort now.

4. I wander'd from Him while I could,
Till shall come stopped my feet;
And now, through Jesus' precious blood,
I shall come to His seat.
