Representative Text

1 Out of the darkness, into the light,
Out of your weakness, into His night,
Jesus is calling, calling today;
Why will you turn from His love away?

Chorus:
List to His pleading, tender and sweet,
Kneel with your burden low at His feet;
Long have you grieved Him, your Savior and King;
Now, tho’ unworthy, your all to Him bring.

2 Out of your sorrow, into His joy,
Joy that this earth can never destroy;
Why will you turn the Savior away,
When He so patiently waits today? [Chorus]

3 Lean on His promise, precious and blest,
Come unto Him for pardon and rest;
Lo! He is calling, calling you still,
Will you not yield to His blessed will? [Chorus]
