1 Will you receive Him?
Will you receive Him?
Jesus is calling tonight.
Tenderly calling,
Shadows are falling,
Yet He would make your way bright.
Refrain:
Calling, oh, hear Him calling, oh, hear Him,
Jesus your pathway would light.
Calling, oh, hear Him calling, oh, hear Him,
Jesus is calling tonight.
2 While He is near you,
How He would cheer you,
Jesus is calling tonight.
What are you sowing?
Moments are going,
Now take a stand for the right. [Refrain]
3 Humbly confessing,
Craving His blessing,
Come to the Saviour, O come.
He will protect you,
Ever direct you,
Till He shall welcome you home. [Refrain]
