Jesus is tenderly calling thee home

Lyrics

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. Calling today,
   Calling today;
   Jesus is calling,
   Is tenderly calling today.
   
3. Jesus is calling the weary to Him now,
   Waiting today, waiting today;
   Bring Him thy burden and thou shalt be blest;
   He will not turn thee away.
   
4. Calling today,
   Calling today;
   Jesus is calling,
   Is tenderly calling today.
   
5. 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.
   
6. Calling today,
   Calling today;
   Jesus is calling,
   Is tenderly calling today.
   
7. 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.
   
8. Calling today,
   Calling today;
   Jesus is calling,
   Is tenderly calling today.
