Rich treasures are waiting just over the way
For those who are faithful and true;
Dear sinner, the blessing is ready today,
And Jesus is calling for you.
Refrain
Calling for you, calling for you,
Yes, Jesus is calling for you;
Calling for you, calling for you,
Yes, tenderly calling for you.
There’s mercy for all, and the Spirit says Come,
And enter the kingdom anew;
The angels are waiting to welcome you home,
And Jesus is calling for you.
Refrain
Then linger no longer afar from the fold,
Bid sin and its follies adieu;
O why will you wander in darkness and cold,
When Jesus is calling for you?
Refrain
O come and be saved, while His mercy and love
Your spirit so tenderly woo;
To mansions of glory in Heaven above,
And Jesus is calling for you.
