| Text: | Jesus Is Tenderly Calling |
| Author: | Fanny J Crosby, 1820-1915 |
| Tune: | CALLING TODAY |
| Composer: | George C Stebbins, 1846-1945 |
1 Jesus is tenderly calling you home–
Calling today, calling today;
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam
Farther and farther away?
Refrain:
Calling today, Calling today,
Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.
2 Jesus is calling the weary to rest–
Calling today, calling today;
Bring Him thy burden and thou shalt be blest;
He will not turn thee away. [Refrain]
3 Jesus is waiting, O come to Him now–
Waiting today, waiting today,
Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow;
Come, and no longer delay. [Refrain]
4 Jesus is pleading, O list to His voice:
Hear Him today, hear Him today;
They who believe on His name shall rejoice;
Quickly arise and away. [Refrain]
AMEN.
