Come to Jesus, come to Jesus

About this hymn

As printed As printed: running head «MISCELLANEOUS—OLD MELODIES.»; hymn number «1149» (large), tune name «COME TO JESUS.» centred over the music (condensed capitals and small capitals), «UNKNOWN.» at the right (capitals and small capitals); no metre is printed. Stanza 1 is interlinear, one line in a condensed bold face under the single system: «1. Come to Jesus, come to Je-sus, Come to Je - sus just now, Just now come to Je-sus, Come to Je - sus just now.»; it is given below in verse lines like stanzas 2–5, with the line-end punctuation of the interlinear line («now,» where stanzas 2–5 have «now;»). In the scanned image two letters of that line look like «e» — «come te Je-sus» and «Ceme to» (bar 9): they are pixel-identical copies of one «e» symbol of the JBIG2-compressed scan (symbol substitution), so the image does not show the printed letter; read «to» and «Come». Stanzas 2–5 are printed as text below the music in two columns, numbered «2»–«5» without periods (written «2.»–«5.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book); lines 2 and 4 are indented. «Anon.» in bold italics after stanza 5. The print sets a thin space before «;» («now ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
