56. A Call Comes Ringing to Me

1 When I hear the story of Jesus,
It matters not where I may be;
When I think of His life of devotion,
A call comes ringing to me.

Refrain:
A call comes ringing to me,
A call comes ringing to me!
To rise and walk in His footsteps,
A call comes ringing to me.

2 When the needy, the sick and the sinful,
Along my pathway I see,
And I think of the words of the Master,
A call comes ringing to me. [Refrain]

3 When I hear of the nations in darkness,
Beyond the roll of the sea,
And think of His parting commission,
A call comes ringing to me. [Refrain]

4 When I look upon Calvary’s mountain,
Where Jesus was nailed to the tree,
And know that He suffered to save me,
A call comes ringing to me. [Refrain]
