Jesus is waiting
to welcome the weary,
Worn with the world's
fruitless striving for peace;
Tired with a night-watch
that knoweth no morning,
Sick with a heartache
that earth cannot ease.
Jesus is seeking; Jesus is calling;
Will you not come to Him now?
Jesus is knocking; Jesus is waiting,
Waiting to save you now.
Jesus is waiting,
He standeth and knocketh,
Calling in love
unto each one oppressed?
“Come unto Me, sinner,
weary and laden;
I will receive you
and give you My rest.
Jesus is seeking; Jesus is calling;
Will you not come to Him now?
Jesus is knocking; Jesus is waiting,
Waiting to save you now.
“Will you not come?
you need no preparation;
Stay not to think,
but come just as you are.
Bring nothing with you,
for love giveth freely,
Peace?perfect peace—
that no sorrow can mar.
Jesus is seeking; Jesus is calling;
Will you not come to Him now?
Jesus is knocking; Jesus is waiting,
Waiting to save you now.
“O, I am yearning
to see you unburdened;
Death did I suffer
that you might be free.
Will you not come,
and by life consecration,
Try to win others,
and bring them to Me?”
Jesus is seeking; Jesus is calling;
Will you not come to Him now?
Jesus is knocking; Jesus is waiting,
Waiting to save you now.
