Lyrics

Say, what mean thy tears that start,
Weary child with brok­en heart?
Lift thine eye! O look and see—
’Tis the Sav­ior call­ing thee.

Refrain

He is call­ing,
He is call­ing, call­ing thee,
Lift thine eyes! O look and see,
’Tis the Sav­ior call­ing thee!
He is call­ing,
He is call­ing, call­ing thee,
’Tis the Sav­ior call­ing, call­ing, call­ing thee!

He has called and sought thee long;
Leave the gay and care­less throng;
Why de­lay His own to be,
When He still is call­ing thee?

Refrain

Dost thou on His name be­lieve?
Pardoning grace wouldst thou re­ceive?
Plead with Him on bend­ed knee—
Love di­vine is call­ing thee.

Refrain

At the cross where once He died,
At the fount He opened wide,
Seek and find sal­va­tion free,
While He now is call­ing thee!
