Jesus Tenderly Calling

Foote Hymnal: Best Hymns No. 4 #28 (1907) First Line: Jesus is calling, tenderly calling Refrain First Line: Jesus is calling, tenderly calling Lyrics: 1 Jesus is calling, tenderly calling; Sinner, thy Savior now pleads for thee, Standing and knocking, anxiously waiting, Longing to save thee and set thee free. Refrain: Jesus is calling, tenderly calling; Sinner, He pleads—oh, hear His today! Will you not heed His tender entreaties? Why not receive Him, His voice obey? 2 Sinner, ‘tis Jesus, like the good shepherd, Out on the desert to find his sheep; When he hath found it, heaven rejoices— Sinner thy Savior can save and keep. [Refrain] 3 Prodigal son, thy Father is waiting, Anxious and longing, He will not spurn; He will forgive thee, hasten to welcome— Prodigal sinner, with joy return.
