Representative Text

1 Come, ye weary and oppressed,
Jesus now is calling you;
Come to him, he’ll give you rest—
Still he bids you come.

Refrain:
Jesus now is calling, calling, calling,
Jesus now is calling you—
Calling you to come.

2 Tho’ your sins like mountains rise,
Jesus now is calling you;
He has made the sacrifice—
Still he bids you come. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ your sins like scarlet be,
Jesus now is calling you;
From your sins he’ll set you free—
Still he bids you come. [Refrain]

4 Come, ye wand’rers from the fold,
Jesus now is calling you;
Oh, his love can ne’er be told! —
Still he bids you come. [Refrain]
