The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3788

3788. Listen, He's Calling

1. Who is there longing for something today,
Something the world cannot take away?
Who is there striving for rest and for peace?
Who from all sin is desiring release?

Refrain
Listen, He’s calling, Come unto Me!
Listen, the Savior is calling,
Come unto Me and be saved!

2. Who is there walking in darkness of night?
Who is there longing for glimmers of light?
Who is there troubled by doubts and by fears?
Who is there blinded by fast falling tears? [Refrain]

3. Who is there out on the mountain of sin,
Stumbling along with no shelter to win?
Who is there moaning in awful despair,
Hopeless and aimless with no thought of prayer? [Refrain]

4. Oh, to be free from the bondage of sin!
Oh, to be sure that a crown you might win!
Oh, to be saved to the uttermost now!
Come, then, to Jesus, and joyfully bow! [Refrain]
