1  Jesus is tenderly calling thee home —

       Calling today, calling today!

    Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam,

       Farther and farther away?

 2  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.

 3  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.

 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, come away!
