Calling to Thee

Representative Text

1 Come to the Saviour, ye children of men;
Come with your blindness and come with your sin;
Come sin-confessing, forsaking the world,
See now the banner of pardon unfurled!

Refrain:
Calling to thee,
Calling to thee,
Come to the Saviour,
O hear His sweet voice
Calling to thee.

2 Come to the Saviour, no longer delay;
While Jesus calls you, believe ye and pray;
While ye may enter, haste! haste ye! come in!
Pardon awaits you and cleansing from sin. [Refrain]

3 Come, oh my brother! each moments delay;
Drifts you the farther from Jesus away,
Makes it the harder the world to deny;
Come, ere eternally hopeless you die. [Refrain]

4 Come to the Saviour, ere sin bind you fast,
Come ere the harvest of mercy is past,
While yet the gospel life offers to thee,
Rise, oh my brother, to safety now flee. [Refrain]
