Lyrics

Jesus is call­ing, call­ing, call­ing,
Jesus is call­ing to­day;
Why should I lin­ger, lin­ger, lin­ger,
I will arise and away.

Refrain

They are so hap­py, hap­py, hap­py,
Who do their Sav­ior ob­ey;
Why should I lin­ger, lin­ger, lin­ger?
I will arise and away.

Jesus is plead­ing, plead­ing, plead­ing,
Why should I wan­der in sin;
While to His glo­ry, glo­ry, glo­ry,
Glad He would wel­come me in.

Refrain

Angels are watch­ing, watch­ing, watch­ing,
Hoping that I will ob­ey;
I will ac­cept Him, love Him, serve Him,
Jesus, I’m com­ing today.

Refrain

Jesus is wai­ting, wait­ing, wait­ing,
Open now stand­eth the door;
Soon the night fall­eth, fall­eth, fall­eth,
Closed are the gates ev­er­more.
