How clear the call of Je¤sus,
In ac¤cents low and sweet:
“Come now ye heav¤y lad¤en,
And rest your wea¤ry feet;
My peace and sweet for¤give¤ness
Your trou¤bled heart will ¤know,
And I will gent¤ly lead you
Where liv¤ing wa¤ters flow.”

Your on¤ly hope is Je¤sus,
O do not turn a¤way.
For you must stand be¤fore Him
On that great judg¤ment day;
When those of eve¤ry na¤tion
Be¤fore Him will ap¤¤pear;
All who de¤spised His mer¤cy,
In aw¤ful guilt and fear.

How kind the heart of Je¤sus,
His voice is call¤ing still;
Grieve not the Ho¤ly Spir¤it;
Do not re¤sist His will.
Your days and years are pass¤ing
Spent, as a tale that’s ¤told;
Will you re¤main a stran¤ger
And lost out¤side the fold?

So ver¤y near the King¤dom,
Since God hath brought you nigh;
How sad if un¤re¤pent¤ing,
In all your sins you die,
O heed the Sav¤iour’s warn¤ing,
Out¤side no long¤er ¤wait,
God’s call may cease for¤ev¤er,
And you may call too late.
