Chorus: Calling, calling, Jesus is calling for thee. Calling, calling, Jesus is calling for thee. 2 Oh, when thy pleasures are flowing, Fading thy hope and thy trust, When of the dearest earth treasures Dust shall return unto dust: Then, tho’ the world may invite thee, Vain will its offering be, List, for there cometh a whisper, Jesus is calling for thee. [Chorus] 3 Down by the shore of death’s river, Some time thy footsteps shall stray, Where waits an angel to bear thee Over to infinite day.

Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: HERALD ANGELS
