Round the Lord in Glory Seated

Round the sacred city gather

Call Them In!

Call them in! the poor, the wretched,
Sin-stained wanderers from the fold;
Peace and pardon freely offer!
Can you weigh their worth with gold?
Call them in! the weak, the weary,
Laden with the doom of sin;
Bid them come and rest in Jesus!
He is waiting: call them in!
