Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Junior Songs #56 (1892) First Line: Out on the desert, looking, looking Refrain First Line: Jesus is looking, Jesus is calling Lyrics: 1 Out on the desert, looking, looking,
Sinner, 'tis Jesus looking for thee;
Tenderly calling, calling, calling,
Hither, thou lost one,
O, come unto me.
Chorus:
Jesus is looking, Jesus is calling,
Why dost thou linger, why tarry away?
Run to him quickly, say to him gladly,
Lord, I am coming, coming to-day.
2 Still he is waiting, waiting, waiting,
O, what compassion beams in his eye,
Hear him repeating gently, gently,
Come to thy Saviour,
O, why wilt thou die. [Chorus]
3 Lovingly pleading, pleading, pleading,
Mercy, tho' slighted, bears with thee yet;
Thou canst be happy, happy, happy,
Come, ere thy life-star forever shall set. [Chorus]
4 Spirits in glory, watching, watching,
Long to behold thee safe in the fold;
Angels are waiting, waiting, waiting,
When shall thy story with rapture be told? [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Out on the desert, looking, looking]
Coming To-day
