3248. Jesus Calls Thee

1. Jesus, gracious one, calleth now to thee,
Come, O sinner, come!
Calls so tenderly, calls so lovingly,
Now, O sinner, come!
Words of peace and blessing,
Christ’s own love confessing;

Refrain
Hear the sweet voice of Jesus,
Full, full of love;
Calling tenderly, calling lovingly,
Come, O sinner, come!

2. Still He waits for thee, pleading patiently,
Come, O come to Me!
Heavy laden one, I thy grief have borne,
Come and rest in Me.
Words with love o’erflowing,
Life and bliss bestowing; [Refrain]

3. Weary, sin-sick soul, called so graciously,
Canst thou dare refuse?
Mercy offered thee, freely, tenderly,
Wilt thou still abuse?
Come, for time is flying,
Haste, thy lamp is dying; [Refrain]
