1 Terno, suave, está Cristo chamando,
Por mim chamando e por ti;
Mui paciente, velando e esperando
Sempre por mim e por ti.

Refrain:
Vem já, vem já! Alma cansada, vem já!
Terno, suave, está Cristo chamando;
Chama: "Ó pecador, vem!"

2 Como adiar, se a Jesus interessa
Salvar-me a mim e a ti?
Como hesitar, ante a rica promessa
Que faz a mim e a ti?

3 O tempo foge, os minutos se escoam,
Fogem de mim e de ti;
Ecos de morte se acercam e soam
Perto de mim e de ti!

4 Oh, que inefável amor, que cuidado,
A mim promete e a ti!
Como Ele apaga e perdoa o pecado!
Perdoa a mim e a ti!
