Jesus is tenderly calling thee home —

by Fanny Crosby (1820–1915)

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 569 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Jesus is tenderly calling thee home — Calling today, calling today; Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam Farther and farther away?

Refrain

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

Verse 2

Jesus is calling the weary to rest — Calling today, calling today; Bring Him thy burden, and thou shalt be blest; He will not turn thee away.

Verse 3

Jesus is waiting — oh, come to Him now — Waiting today, waiting today; Come with thy sins, at His feet lowly bow; Come, and no longer delay.

Verse 4

Jesus is pleading — oh, list to His voice — Hear Him today, hear Him today; They who believe on His name shall rejoice; Quickly arise and away.
