Wilt thou not come,
O soul opprest,
To Him who offers peace and rest?
While Jesus pleads, no longer stay;
He’s calling thee today.
He is calling,
gently calling,
Do not turn from Him away;
He is calling,
gently calling,
He is calling thee today.
Wilt thou not heed
the Saviour’s voice,
Believe His word,
make Him thy choice?
Accept His grace without delay;
He’s calling thee today.
He is calling,
gently calling,
Do not turn from Him away;
He is calling,
gently calling,
He is calling thee today.
Oh, hear Him say,
“Be not afraid,
On Me thy load of guilt was laid”:
“Come unto Me,” “I am the Way”;
He’s calling thee today.
He is calling,
gently calling,
Do not turn from Him away;
He is calling,
gently calling,
He is calling thee today.
O wand’ring one,
no longer roam
Away from God, away from home:
The Spirit’s voice at once obey;
He’s calling thee today.
He is calling,
gently calling,
Do not turn from Him away;
He is calling,
gently calling,
He is calling thee today.
