Jesus Is Calling

1 Jesus is tenderly calling you home,  
Calling today, calling today.  
Why from the sunshine of love will you 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 your burden and you shall be blest;  
He will not turn you away. [Refrain]  

3 Jesus is waiting, O come to Him now,  
Waiting today, waiting today.  
Come with your sins, at His feet lowly bow;  
Come and no longer delay. [Refrain]  

4 Jesus is pleading, O list to His voice,  
Hear Him today, hear Him today.  
They who believe on His Name shall rejoice;  
Quickly arise and away. [Refrain]
