Jesus, Gracious One, calleth now to thee,
Come, O sinner, come !
Calls so tenderly, calls so lovingly,
Now, O sinner, come !
Words of peace and blessing,
Christ's own love confessing !

Hear the sweet voice of Jesus,
Full, full of love ;
Calling tenderly, calling lovingly,
Come, O sinner, come i

2 Still He waits for thee, pleading patiently,

Come, oh come, to Me !
Heavy-laden one, I thy grief have borne,
Come and rest in Me.
Words with love o'erflowing,
Life and bliss bestowing !

3 Weary, sin-sick soul, called so graciously,
Canst thou dare refuse ?
Mercy offered thee, freely, tenderly,
Wilt thou still abuse ?
Come, for time is flying !
Haste, thy lamp is dying !
