16628. Jesus Is Calling

1 Don’t you hear Him sweet­ly call­ing?
Jesus speaks in tone of love;
Hear the tones in ac­cents fall­ing,
Falling from ab­ove.

Refrain:
Let us ’round the stand­ard ral­ly,
Je­sus, Je­sus bids us come;
He will lead us through the val­ley,
O’er the river, safe­ly home.

2 "In My Fa­ther’s house in Heav­en
Is pre­pared a place for thee;
Lovely man­sions free­ly giv­en,
Only come and fol­low Me." [Refrain]

3 Hear Him plead­ing in the gar­den,
See Him bleed­ing on the cross;
Will you slight the prof­fered par­don?
Can you bear the dread­ful loss? [Refrain]

4 Let us climb the ho­ly mount­ain,
Safe from an­ger, sloth and pride;
Linger near the heal­ing fount­ain,
Flowing from Im­man­uel’s side. [Refrain]

5 Christians need not be af­flict­ed,
When the night of death shall come
All the pas­sage will be light­ed,
In that blest im­mor­tal home. [Refrain]

6 When the sil­ver cord is brok­en,
When our earth­ly home shall fall;
When the last fare­well is spok­en—
Save us, Jesus, save us all. [Refrain]
