8223. Jesus Is Calling

1 Jesus, the Savior, is calling for thee,
Come, heavy laden one, come unto Me;
I will thy soul from its burdens set free—
Jesus is calling for thee!

Refrain:
Jesus is calling, tenderly calling,
Jesus is calling, calling for Thee;
Jesus is calling, tenderly calling,
Jesus is calling, calling for Thee.

2 Ye who are wandering now far away,
Heed the blest message—why longer delay?
Why from His presence so long wilt thou stay?
Jesus is calling for thee! [Refrain]

3 Jesus still seeks thee afar from the fold,
Out on the mountain so dark and so cold;
Turn to Him now—in His arms He’ll enfold—
Jesus is calling for Thee! [Refrain]
