Jesus is calling, lovingly calling

Representative Text

1 Jesus is calling, lovingly calling,
Moments are wasting and the harvest is wide;
Many are waiting, many are idle,
Many are halting, and awaiting the tide.

Refrain:
Jesus is calling, so lovingly calling,
Enter the field, for there’s plenty to do,
Take up the cross, and, no longer delaying,
Enter the service, be valiant and true.

2 Jesus is calling, lovingly calling,
Gather the jewels that in plenty are found;
Tell the glad story, tell it with gladness,
Until the world shall with His glory resound. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is calling, patiently calling,
Enter the field, joyfully singing His love;
Comfort the weak ones, rescue the wand’rer,
Tell the glad story of the mansions above. [Refrain]
