Lyrics

List to the story
Of the Christ, who for thy soul
Left all the glo­ry,
All to make thee whole;
On the cross He suf­fered,
Bled and died on Cal­va­ry,
Thus for thee He pur­chased
Life so full and free.

Refrain

Jesus is call­ing,
Sweet and low He calls for thee;
Jesus is call­ing,
Wilt thou come and see?

Anthems are ring­ing
Over earth and sea and shore,
Glad tid­ings bring­ing,
Telling o’er and o’er
Of a Sav­ior ris­en;
For the stone is rolled away,
From the grave’s dark pri­son
He is ris­en to­day.

Refrain

Now He is plead­ing
Up in Hea­ven for thee this hour,
There in­ter­ced­ing
In His love and pow­er;
Oh, the par­don prof­fered,
Blood to take thy sin away,
Love di­vine is of­fered,
Wilt thou come to­day?
