149. He is Calling

1 O the Master to our hearts is calling,
He is calling, gently calling;
Hear His voice in tender accents falling,
As we listen to His holy Word;
He is calling us to lives of joy and beauty,
While in rev’rence, at His mercy-seat we bow,
Love will sweetly hallow ev’ry duty;
He is calling, calling, calling now.

Refrain:
Listen to our Friend and Saviour,
Calling, calling;
Trusting in His gracious favor,
Listen to Him calling now.

2 To a service full of peace and gladness,
He is calling, gently calling;
Bear the gospel cheer to those in sadness,
Tell the wondrous message we have heard;
Let us enter on this high and holy mission;
If we seek to please Him, He will teach us how;
Blessed aim, inspiring grand ambition;
He is calling, calling, calling now. [Refrain]

3 O the Master to our hearts is calling,
He is calling, gently calling;
And His goodness is our souls enthralling,
Learning wisdom from His holy Word;
In His steps of mercy, ever pressing onward,
With abounding grace, His children He’ll endow;
Unto others, we shall bring a blessing;
He is calling, calling, calling now. [Refrain]
