Jesus is tenderly calling thee home

Calling today, calling today

Why from the sunshine of love wilt thou roam

Farther and farther away

Calling today, Calling today,

Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.

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.

Calling today, Calling today,

Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.

3

Jesus is waiting O come to Him now

Waiting today, waiting today

Come with thy sins at His feet lowly bow

Come, and no longer delay.

Calling today, Calling today,

Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.

4

Jesus is pleading O list to His voice

Hear Him today, hear Him today

They who believe on His name shall rejoice

Quickly arise and away.

Calling today, Calling today,

Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today.

1

Come to the Saviour now!

He gently calleth thee

In true repentance bow,

Before Him bend the knee:

He waiteth to bestow

Salvation, peace, and love,

True joy on earth below,

A home in heaven above.

2

Come to the Saviour now!

Gaze on that cleansing tide

Water and blood that flow

Forth from His wounded side.

Hark to the suff'ring One:

"'Tis finished!" now He cries

Redemption's work is done,

Then bows His head and dies.

3

Come to the Saviour now!

He suffered all for thee

And in His merits thou

Hast an unfailing plea

No vain excuses frame,

For feelings do not stay

None who to Jesus came

Were ever sent away.

1

Only a step to Jesus! Then

Why not take it now

Come, and thy sin confessing,

To Him, thy Saviour, bow.

Come and thy sin confessing,

Thou shalt receive a blessing

Do not reject the mercy

He freely offers thee.

2

Only a step to Jesus!

Believe, and thou shalt live

Lovingly now He's waiting,

And ready to forgive.

Come and thy sin confessing,

Thou shalt receive a blessing

Do not reject the mercy

He freely offers thee.

3

Only a step to Jesus!

A step from sin to grace

What has thy heart decided

The moments fly apace

Come and thy sin confessing,

Thou shalt receive a blessing

Do not reject the mercy

He freely offers thee.

4

Only a step to Jesus!

O why not come and say:

"Gladly to Thee my Saviour,

I give myself away

Only a step, only a step

Come, He waits for thee

Come and thy sin confessing,

Thou shalt receive a blessing

Do not reject the mercy

He freely offers thee.

1

Christ, thy Lord is waiting now,

Let Him in! Let Him in!

See the thorns upon His brow!

Let Him in! Let Him in!

He, from sin to set us free,

Suffered on the shameful tree

Think upon His agony!

Let Him in! Let Him in!

2

Son of God, behold Him nigh!

Let Him in! Let Him in!

Son of Man, exalted high!

Let Him in! Let Him in!

Cast away thy sinful pride

With Thy Saviour, Guardian, Guide,

Thou wilt e'er be satisfied,

Let Him in! Let Him in!

3

Seeks He now the humble heart,

Let Him in! Let Him in!

Calls it from the world apart.

Let Him in! Let Him in!

Yield to Him His rightful place,

Look to Him for needed grace,

Now begin the Heav'nly race!

Let Him in! Let Him in!

4

Blessed Lord, I now believe!

Enter in! Enter in!

Joyfully I Thee receive,

Enter in! Enter in!

Thou the path of life wilt show,

Comfort me in time of woe,

Hidden things wilt make me know!

Enter in! Enter in! Amen.

1

O Jesus, Thou art standing

Outside the fastclosed door,

In lowly patience waiting

To pass the threshold o'er:

Shame on us, Christian brothers,

His Name and sign who bear,

O shame, thrice shame upon us,

To keep Him standing there!

2

O Jesus, Thou art knocking

And lo! that hand is scarred,

And throns Thy brow encircle,

And tears Thy face have marred

O love that passeth knowledge,

So patiently to wait!

O sin that hath no equal,

So fast to bar the gate!

3

O Jesus, Thou art pleading

In accents meek and low,

"I died for you, My children,

And will ye treat Me so

O Lord, with shame and sorrow

We open now the door

Dear Saviour, enter, enter,

And leave us nevermore! Amen.

1

Come, every soul by sin oppressed,

There's mercy with the Lord,

And He will surely give you rest,

By trusting in His word.

Only trust Him, only trust Him,

Only trust Him now

He will save you, He will save you,

He will save you now.

2

For Jesus shed His precious blood

Rich blessings to bestow

Only trust Him, only trust Him,

Only trust Him now

He will save you, He will save you,

He will save you now.

Plunge now into the crimson flood

That washes white as snow.

3

Yes, Jesus is the Truth, the Way,

That leads you into rest

Believe in Him without delay,

And you are fully blest.

Only trust Him, only trust Him,

Only trust Him now

He will save you, He will save you,

He will save you now.

4

Come, then, and join this holy band,

And on to glory go,

To dwell in that celestial land,

Where joys immortal flow.

Only trust Him, only trust Him,

Only trust Him now

He will save you,He will save you

He will save you now.

If Thou withdraw Thyself from me

Ah! whither shall I go?

I do believe, I now believe

What did Thine only Son endure

Amen

Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,

Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come

Into Thy freedom, gladness and light,

Out of my sickness into Thy health,

Out of my want and into Thy wealth,

Out of my sin and into Thyself, Jesus,

I come to Thee.

2

Out of my shameful failure and loss,

Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come

1

I've wandered far away from God, Now I'm coming home;

The paths of sin too long I/ve trod, Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam,

Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

2

I've wasted many precious years, Now I'm coming home;

I now repent with bitter tears, Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam,

Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

3

I've tired of sin and straying, Lord, Now I'm coming home;

I'll trust Thy love, believe Thy Word, Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam,

Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

4

My soul is sick, my heart is sore, Now I'm coming home;

My strength renew, my hope restore, Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam,

Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

5

My only hope, my only plea, Now I'm coming home;

That Jesus died, and died for me. Lord, I'm coming home.

Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam,

Open wide Thine arms of love, Lord, I'm coming home.

1

One thing I of the Lord desire,

For all my path hath miry been,

Be it by water or by fire,

O make me clean, O make me clean.

So wash me, Thou, without, within,

Or purge with fire, if that must be

No matter how, if only sin

Die out in me, Die out in me.

2

If clearer vision Thou impart,

Grateful and glad my soul shall be

But yet to have a purer heart

Is more to me, Is more to me.

So wash me, Thou, without, within,

Or purge with fire, if that must be

No matter how, if only sin

Die out in me, Die out in me.

3

Yes, only as this heart is clean

May larger vision yet be mine,

For mirrored in its depths are seen

The things divine, the things divine.

So wash me, Thou, without, within,

Or purge with fire, if that must be

No matter how, if only sin

Die out in me, Die out in me.

4

I watch to shun the miry way,

And stanch the springs of guilty thought,

But, watch and struggle as I may,

Pure I am not, Pure I am not.

So wash me, Thou, without, within,

Or purge with fire, if that must be

No matter how, if only sin

Die out in me, Die out in me.

1

I grieved my Lord from day to day,

I scorned His love so full and free,

And though I wandered far away,

My mother's pray'rs have followed me.

I'm coming home, the whole world thro'

To live my wasted life anew,

For mother's pray'rs have followed me,

Have followed me the whole world thro'.

2

O'er desert wild, o'er mountain high

A wanderer I chose to be,

A wretched soul condemned to die,

Still mother's pray'rs have followed me.

I'm coming home, the whole world thro'

To live my wasted life anew,

For mother's pray'rs have followed me,

Have followed me the whole world thro'.

3

He turned my darkness into light,

This blessed Christ of Calvary,

I'll praise His name both day and night,

That mother's pray'rs have followed me.

I'm coming home, the whole world thro'

To live my wasted life anew,

For mother's pray'rs have followed me,

Have followed me the whole world thro'.

1

Take me, oh, my Father, take me

Take me, save me, through Thy Son

That which Thou wouldst have me, make me

Let Thy will in me be done.

Long from Thee my footsteps straying,

Thorny prov'd the way I trod.

Weary come I now, and praying.

Take me to Thy love, my God.

2

Fruitless years with grief recalling,

Humbly I confess my sin

At Thy feet, O Father, falling,

To Thy household take me in.

Freely now to Thee I proffer

This repenting heart of mine.

Freely, life and soul I offer

Gifts unworthy love like Thine.

3

Once the world's Redeemer, dying,

Bore our sins upon the tree.

On that sacrifice relying,

Now I look in hope to Thee.

Father, take me! all forgiving,

Fold me to Thy loving breast.

In Thy love forever living,

I must be forever blest. Amen.

1

I was a wand'ring sheep,

I did not love the fold

I did not love my Shepherd's voice,

I would not be controlled.

I was a wayward child,

I did not love my home

I did not love my Father's voice,

I loved afar to roam

2

The Shepherd sought His sheep,

The Father sought His child

They followed me o'er vale and hill,

O'er deserts waste and wild

They found me nigh to death,

Farmished and faint and lone

They bound me with the bands of love,

They saved the wand'ring one.

3

Jesus my Shepherd is,

'Twas He that loved my soul,

'Twas He that washed me in His blood,

'Twas He that mede me whole

'Twas He that sought the lost,

That found the wand'ring sheep,

'Twas He that brought me to the fold,

'Tis He that still doth keep.

4

No more a wand'ring sheep,

I love to be controll'd

I love my tender Shepherd's voice,

I love to praceful fold,

No more a wayward child,

I seek no more to roam

I love my heav'nly Father's voice,

I love, I love His home. Amen.

1

Far from the Lord I wander'd long

In enchantments of time and place,

Sunk deep in my sins, immers'd in wrong,

Forgetting a Saviour's grace.

O, Jesus, dear Lord, my heart

Is opening now the door,

Come in today, come forever to stay,

My life to be, evermore!

2

Grieving for Adam's dying seed

In the bondage of sin and shame,

From glories of heav'n to meet our need,

In pity the Saviour came.

O, Jesus, dear Lord, my heart

Is opening now the door,

Come in today, come forever to stay,

My life to be, evermore!

3

Mockery's cirmson cloth He wore,

And His crown was a crown of throrn,

And, high on the cross, the pains He bore

The sins of a world have borne!

O, Jesus, dear Lord, my heart

Is opening now the door,

Come in today, come forever to stay,

My life to be, evermore!

4

Folly and sin of humankind!

So unwilling our Lord to know,

We wander our deserts, faint and blind!

How long shall we scorn Him so

O, Jesus, dear Lord, my heart

Is opening now the door,

Come in today, come forever to stay,

My life to be, evermore! Amen.

1

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,

Hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art smiling,

Do not pass me by.

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

2

Let me at a throne of mercy,

Finda sweet relief

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help mt unbelief.

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

3

Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face

Heal my wounded,broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

4

Thou the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee

Whom in heav'n but Thee

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

1

Father, I stretch my hands to Thee

No other help I know

If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,

Ah! whither shall I go

I do believe,I now believe,

That Jesus died for me,

And that He shed His precious blood

From sin to set me free.

2

What did Thine only Son endure,

Before I drew my breath!

What pain, what labour, to secure

My soul from endless death!

I do believe,I now believe,

That Jesus died for me,

And that He shed His precious blood

From sin to set me free.

3

O Jesus, could I this believe

I now should feel Thy power,

And all my wants Thou wouldst relieve,

In this accepted hour.

I do believe,I now believe,

That Jesus died for me,

And that He shed His precious blood

From sin to set me free. Amen.

1

Just as I am, without one plea,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2

Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot,

To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3

Just as I am, though tossed about

With many a conflict, many a doubt,

Fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

4

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;

Sight, riches, healing of the mind,

Yea, all I need in Thee to find,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

5

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;

Because Thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

6

Just as I am, Thy love unknown

Hath broken every barrier down;

Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

1

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

And to take Him at His Word

Just to rest upon His promise

Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!"

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more!

2

O how sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to trust His cleansing blood

Just in simple faith to plunge me

’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more!

3

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus

Just from sin and self to cease

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more!

4

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend

And I know that Thou art with me

Wilt be with me to the end

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

O for grace to trust Him more!

Amen
