Sheet music

  1. 1Jesus is calling, calling, calling;Jesus is calling today;Why should I linger, linger, linger?I will arise and away.They are so happy, happy, happy,Who do their Savior obey (obey);Why should I linger, linger, linger?I will arise and away.
  2. 2Jesus is pleading, pleading, pleading;Why should I wander in sin,While to His glory, glory, glory,Glad He would welcome me in?They are so happy, happy, happy,Who do their Savior obey (obey);Why should I linger, linger, linger?I will arise and away.
  3. 3Jesus is waiting, waiting, waiting;Open now standeth the door;Soon the night falleth, falleth, falleth;Closed are the gates evermore.They are so happy, happy, happy,Who do their Savior obey (obey);Why should I linger, linger, linger?I will arise and away.
