Call them in the poor the wretched




“Call them in ”—
the poor, the wretched,
Sin-stained wand’rers from the fold;
Peace and pardon freely offer;
Can you weigh
their worth with gold?
“Call them in ”—
the weak, the weary,
laden with the doom of sin;
Bid them come and rest in Jesus;
He is waiting—“Call them in.”


“Call them in ”—
the Jew, the Gentile;
Bid the stranger to the feast;
“Call them in ”—
the rich, the noble,
From the highest to the least:
Forth the Father runs to meet them.
He hath all their sorrows seen;
Robe, and ring, and royal sandals,
Wait the lost ones—“Call them in.”


“Call them in ”—
the little children,
Tarrying far away, away;
Wait, oh, wait not for to-morrow,
Christ would have them
come to-day.
Follow on! The Lamb is leading!
He has conquered,—we shall win;
Bring the halt and blind to Jesus;
He will heal them—“Call them in.”


“Call them in ”—
the broken-hearted,
Cowering ‘neath the brand of shame;
Speak Love’s message,
low and tender—
‘Twas for sinners Jesus came.
See! The shadows lengthen
round us,
Soon the day-dawn will begin;
Can you leave them lost and lonely?
Christ, is coming—“Call them in.”
