143. Jesus is tenderly calling thee home

1 Jesus is tenderly calling thee home
Calling to-day, calling to-day;
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 to-day, calling to-day;
Bring him thy burden and thou shalt be blest;
He will not turn thee away. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is waiting, oh, come to him now
Waiting to-day, waiting to-day;
Come with thy sins, at his feet lowly bow;
Come, and no longer delay. [Refrain]

4 Jesus is pleading, oh, list to his voice
Hear him to-day, hear him to-day;
They who believe on his name shall rejoice;
Quickly arise and away. [Refrain]
