1 Jesus is calling, calling, calling,
Jesus is calling today,
Why do you linger, linger, linger,
Why not arise and obey.
Chorus:
They are so happy, happy, happy;
Who do their Savior obey;
Why should you linger, linger, linger;
Come, be made happy today.
2 Jesus is pleading, pleading, pleading;
Why should you wander in sin,
While to him glory, glory, glory;
Gladly he'd welcome you in. [Chorus]
3 Jesus is waiting, waiting, waiting;
Open wide standeth the door,
Soon the night falleth, falleth, falleth;
Closed is the door evermore. [Chorus]
