Wingate Hymnal: The Old Story in Song Number Two #110 (1908) First Line: The voice of the Saviour is calling, calling Refrain First Line: Calling, he’s calling today Lyrics: 1 The voice of the Saviour is calling, calling, As farther and farther I wander astray; In accents of love it is falling, falling, “O turn thee, O turn thee, no longer delay.” Refrain: Calling, he’s calling today, Calling for me; Calling, “No longer delay;” Dear Savior, I’m coming to thee. 2 The wounds of the Saviour are pleading, pleading, And clearer and clearer is shining the light; It shows me the nail-prints all bleeding, bleeding, Dear Savior, I’m coming, I’m coming tonight. [Refrain] 3 The hands of the Saviour are beck’ning, beck’ning, As nearer and nearer I press to his side; Upon his sure word I am reck’ning, reck’ning, Dear Savior, I’m coming, for me thou hast died. [Refrain] 4 The love of the Saviour is boundless, boundless, In billows and billows it breaks on the shore; The depths of his mercy are soundless, soundless, Dear Savior, I’m coming, the struggle is o’er. [Refrain] Tune Title: [The voice of the Saviour is calling, calling]
