Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#316

316. Jesus Is Tenderly Calling

1. Jesus is tenderly calling thee home,
Calling today, calling today;
Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam
Farther and farther away?

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.

Calling today,
Calling today;
Jesus is calling,
Is tenderly calling today.

3. Jesus is waiting; O come to Him, now,
Waiting today, waiting today;
Come with thy sins; at His feet lowly bow;
Come and no longer delay.

Calling today,
Calling today;
Jesus is calling,
Is tenderly calling today.

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.

Calling today,
Calling today;
Jesus is calling,
Is tenderly calling today.
