1 Jesus calls!
He it is who died to save thee;
He it is who all things gave thee;
Come, follow Him!
Come, thy ev’ry need confessing;
Come to Him for rest and blessing:
Trust, trust in Him!

Refrain:
Jesus calls!
He it is who died to save thee;
He it is who all things gave thee:
Come, follow Him!

2 Jesus calls!
Over highway, hill, and hollow—
Ev’rywhere He bids thee follow;
Yea, follow Him!
He will shield, uphold, and guide thee;
In His presence sweetly hide thee:
Trust, trust in Him! [Refrain]

3 Jesus calls!
There, where warfare He is waging,
And the angry foe is raging;
Come, follow Him!
With thy Captain onward leading,
Thou to victory art speeding:
Trust, trust in Him! [Refrain]
