Text:When Jesus Called Me

Tune:[I never can forget the time]
Composer:Wm. Edie Marks

57. When Jesus Called Me

1 I never can forget the time,
When Jesus called me;
His voice more sweet than silver chime,
When Jesus called me.

Chorus:
When Jesus called me,
When Jesus called me;
I heard him calling wand'rer come,
I'll take thy hand, I'll lead thee home.

2 My heart was sunk in depths of sin,
When Jesus called me;
But O how soon the light broke in,
When Jesus called me. [Chorus]

3 My feet had wandered far astray,
When Jesus called me;
But soon I found the narrow way,
When Jesus called me. [Chorus]

4 I then resolved no more to roam,
When Jesus called me;
I started for my heav'nly home,
When Jesus called me. [Chorus]
