5. Listen! Listen! He Is Calling

1 Burdened sinner, there is mercy,
At the door of hope,
Knock, oh knock if e’er so gently,
And the door will ope.

Refrain:
Listen! listen! He is calling,
Hear His loving voice,
Hear His spirit gently pleading,
Make Him now your choice.

2 Jesus stands beside it waiting,
Just to hear you call,
And at once will listen gladly,
For He comes to all. [Refrain]

3 Always ready, He will listen,
To thy faintest call,
Always willing, He will pardon,
And forgive thee all. [Refrain]
