  1. 1Soul, a Savior thou art needing!Soul, a Savior waits for thee!Hear His words of tender pleading,Hear His gracious “Come to Me.”He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)On thine ear (On thine ear)His voice is fall-ing;He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)“Come to Me (“Come to me) and be at rest.”
  2. 2He has died for thy transgression,If thou wilt, thou canst be free;Soul He waits for thy confession,“Savior, I will go to Thee.”He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)On thine ear (On thine ear)His voice is fall-ing;He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)“Come to Me (“Come to me) and be at rest.”
  3. 3Do not lin-ger till the morrow,Let thy loving answer be,“Savior, in my joy or sorrow,I will ever go to Thee.”He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)On thine ear (On thine ear)His voice is fall-ing;He is calling, (He is calling,) softly calling, (softly calling,)“Come to Me (“Come to me) and be at rest.”
