Lyrics

Jesus calls for thee, O soul;
Oh, in sin why stay away?
Shame and guilt thy heart control;
Jesus calls thee home today.

Refrain

Calling, calling,
Jesus is calling thee home today;
Calling, calling,
He’s calling thee home today.

Jesus died that He might save
Weary hearts that sigh for rest;
Oh, believe the word He gave;
Trust in Him, and thou art blest.

Refrain

Though through sin thy death be sure,
Jesus’ blood can wash away
All thy guilt, and make thee pure;
Oh, then come, make no delay.
