- 1God calling yet! shall I not hear?Earth’s pleasures shall I still hold dear?Shall life’s swift passing years all fly,And still my soul in slumber lie?God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,) calling yet,(Heed His pleading voice, God is calling yet,)God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,)Sinner, heed His pleading voice."
- 2God calling yet! shall I not rise?Can I His loving voice despise,And basely His kind care repay?He calls me still; can I delay?God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,) calling yet,(Heed His pleading voice, God is calling yet,)God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,)Sinner, heed His pleading voice."
- 3God calling yet! and shall I giveNo heed, but still in bondage live?I wait, but He does not forsake;He calls me still; my heart, awake!God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,) calling yet,(Heed His pleading voice, God is calling yet,)God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,)Sinner, heed His pleading voice."
- 4God calling yet! I cannot stay;My heart I yield without delay;Vain world, farewell! from thee I part;The voice of God has reach’d my heart.God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,) calling yet,(Heed His pleading voice, God is calling yet,)God is calling,(God is calling yet, God is calling yet,)Sinner, heed His pleading voice."
