Calling today, calling today;
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam
Farther and farther away?
Refrain:
Calling today,
Calling today,
Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.
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. [Refrain]
3. Jesus is waiting; I come to Him now —
Waiting today, waiting today;
Come with thy sins; at His feet lowly bow;
Come, and no longer delay. [Refrain]
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 and away. [Refrain]
