Representative Text

1 The Saviour is calling today,
The time flieth swiftly away,
O heed that sweet voice,
Make Him quickly thy choice,
The Saviour is calling today.

Refrain:
O hear Him today,
Why longer delay?
He’s pleading, He’s pleading, poor sinner,
Now come unto me.

2 The Saviour calls “Sinner, come home,”
Why longer in darkness now roam?
How long shall He stand
With His nail-pierced hand?
The Saviour calls, “Sinner, come home.” [Refrain]

3 Still pleading so gently with thee,
O will you not come and be free?
Why longer delay?
Receive Him today,
Still pleading so gently with thee. [Refrain]
