God is call¤ing! Wan¤d’rer, do not long¤er roam–
Je¤sus wants to lead you on to heaven and home;
Come while He is plead¤ing; do not faint nor fear.
He will walk be¤side you and your spir¤it cheer.

Chorus:
“Oh! what might have been,” This will be your cry
When, too late, you see Je¤sus has passed by.
Long with you He plead¤ed, but you would not hear;
Now He can¤not help you, though you faint with fear.

God is call¤ing! Wan¤d’rer, will you then re¤fuse
All His ten¤der mer¤cy and His love a¤buse?
Grasp the hand He of¤fers: think what it would mean,
Left to mourn for¤ev¤er, “Oh, what might have been!”

God had al¤most won you when your friends drew near,
“You shall lose our friend¤ship,” whis¤pered in your ear.
With the flesh con¤fer¤ring, soon your heart grew cold;
Then you turned a¤gainst Him and your birth¤right sold.

God is call¤ing! Wan¤d’rer, Come with¤out de¤lay,
Hand out¤stretched to save you, Do not turn a¤way;
Lose no time, oh wan¤d’rer From your sin now part,
While to¤day He’s call¤ing, Hard¤en not your heart.
