Jesus Is Calling Today

Representative Text

1 Weary one, Jesus is calling to rest,
Calling today, do not delay;
Lay down your burden and lean on His breast,
Jesus is calling today.

Chorus:
Jesus is calling, is calling today,
Calling, my brother, oh, do not delay;
Jesus is calling, is calling today,
Jesus is calling today.

2 Long He has call’d you, He calls you today,
Calling today, do not delay;
He may cease calling if you turn away,
Jesus is calling today. [Chorus]

3 Judgment is coming, when many shall weep,
Banished away, ever to stay,
Jesus can not only save you but keep,
Jesus is calling today. [Chorus]

4 Voices you’ve heard, but no voice such as His,
Calling today, do not delay;
Hell will be awful if heaven you miss,
Jesus is calling today. [Chorus]
