1 Con voz benigna te llama Jesús:
invitación de puro amor.
¿Por qué le dejas en vano llamar?
¿Sordo serás, pecador?

Coro:
Hoy te convida, hoy te convida;
Voz bendecida, benigna convídate hoy.

2 A los cansados convida Jesús;
con compasión mira el dolor.
Tráele tu carga, te bendecirá;
te ayudará el Señor. [Coro]

3 Siempre aguardando contempla a Jesús;
¡tanto esperar, con tanto amor!
Hasta sus plantas ven, mísero, y trae tu tentación, tu dolor. [Coro]
