16669. Jesus Is Calling

1 Come, ye weary and op­pressed,
Jesus now is call­ing you;
Come to Him, He’ll give you rest—
Jesus 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—
And 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—
And He bids you come. [Refrain]
