Lyrics

Jesus is ten­der­ly call­ing for thee,
Calling for thee, yes, call­ing for thee;
Listen and hear Him say, Fol­low thou Me,
Follow, yes, fol­low thou Me.

Refrain

Jesus is call­ing to­day,
Jesus is call­ing to­day;
Jesus is call­ing to­day,
Calling, yes, call­ing to­day.

Jesus is ten­der­ly call­ing thee now,
Calling thee now, yes, call­ing thee now;
Waiting for thee in sub­mis­sion to bow,
Calling, yes, call­ing just now.

Refrain

Jesus is ten­der­ly call­ing, O come!
Calling to­day, yes, call­ing to­day;
All who are wea­ry and long­ing for home,
Jesus is call­ing to­day.
