147. Jesus is Calling

1 Jesus is tenderly calling thee home--
Calling today, calling today;
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 today, calling today;
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 today, waiting today;
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 today, hear Him today;
They who believe on His name shall rejoice;
Quickly arise and away. [Refrain]
