16627. Jesus Is Calling You

1 Lovingly Je­sus speaks to your heart;
Gently He knocks for en­trance there­in;
Open the door, lest He should de­part,
Leaving your soul still dark­ened by sin.

Refrain:
Jesus is call­ing, call­ing to you;
Will you not hear and heed Him to­day?
Hear His sweet voice, so ten­der and true;
Come to Him now, oh, come while you may.

2 Why should you tar­ry, why still de­lay?
Why not this mo­ment en­ter His fold?
If you re­ject Him, turn Him away,
You will be left alone in the cold. [Refrain]

3 Linger no long­er, time does not wait;
Shadows are ga­ther­ing, night com­eth on;
Death may be near you, seal­ing your fate,
Time for re­pent­ance then will be gone. [Refrain]
