Jesus Is Tenderly Calling

193

Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915

Geo. C. Stebbins, 1846-

1. Jesus is tenderly calling thee home--Calling today, calling today;
   Why from the sun-shine of love wilt thou roam Farther and farther away?
   Refrain
   Calling today! Calling today!
   Jesus is calling, Is tenderly calling today.(Last verse: Amen.)
   
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, oh, 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, oh, list to his voice-- Hear him today, hear him today;
   They who believe on his name shall rejoice; Quickly arise and away.
   Refrain
