Jesus is tenderly calling thee home—
Calling today, calling today;
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam
Farther and farther away?

Refrain:
Calling today, Calling today,
Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today!

Jesus is calling the weary to rest,
Calling today, calling today;
Bring Him thy burden and thou shalt be blest;
He will not turn thee away.

Jesus is waiting— O come to Him now—
Waiting today, waiting today;
Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow,
Come, and no longer delay.

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.
