Author: D. S. Johnston Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Thy Savior is tenderly calling thee now Lyrics: 1 Thy Savior is tenderly calling thee now,
O careless one, calling to thee;
He’s pleading and waiting to hear thy vow,
He’s calling, calling thee now.
Refrain:
Sinner, thy Savior is calling, calling to thee.
Accept the sweet pardon He now will give;
O sinner, He’s calling thee.
2 Too long you have followed your own crooked way,
Till weary and tired of sin;
He shows you a refuge of hope today,
You’ll find it only in Him. [Refrain]
3 Your loved ones are pleading and praying for you,
In tears they have agonized long;
The angels are waiting to tell the news,
And all will join in the song. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Thy Savior is tenderly calling thee now] Text Sources: Shining River by Henry S. Perkins and William O. Perkins (Boston: Oliver Ditson, 1875)
