Calling Thee

Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Joyful Sound #60 (1889) First Line: The heavenly Father calls for thee Refrain First Line: He is calling thee, calling thee Lyrics: 1 The heavenly Father calls for thee, O wayward, sinful child, And asks thee in his gracious Word To come,—be ye reconciled. Refrain: He is calling thee, calling thee, Home to a Father’s love; He is calling thee to a “title clear,” To a mansion built above. 2 His voice is speaking to thy soul; The Spirit strives within; He bids thee turn to him this hour; He’ll pardon all thy sin. [Refrain] 3 O wondrous love that calls us home! O height and depth of grace! O sweet, constraining power that draws Our hearts to seek his face! 4 The blessed home-light shines beyond, And open is the way; ‘Tis sprinkled with the Saviour’s blood: Come, enter it today. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The heavenly Father calls for thee]
