DOES HE CALL YOU?

JESUS calls me, I am going, Where He opens up my way, To the toiling of His vineyard, Shrinking not a single day. Friends may shun me, toil await me, Crucifixion be my lot; But I’ve chosen Christ my Saviour, I am going, call me not.
Jesus calls me, I am going To the life He wills for me; This poor world can’t fill the aching Of my heart, or set it free. O, what anxious, bitter sorrow Does the world give with its strife; But with Jesus,—O, what glory! Ending in eternal life.
Jesus calls me; I am going; O, that all would test with me, All the power of Christ’s salvation, For the fountain’s full and free. Test the grace so freely offered, Know the worth of Christ within; Rise and share the bliss transcendent— Freedom from the power of sin.
