Representative Text

1. Jesus is calling the children,
Unto His side;
Opens His arms to receive them,
Opens them wide.

Refrain
Gently to lead them,
Guard them and keep them,
Jesus is calling
The lambs to His fold.

2. Jesus is calling the children,
Why should they stay
Out in the wilderness wandering,
Going astray? [Refrain]

3. Jesus is calling the children,
Calling today;
Hasten, each one, for His blessing,
Do not delay. [Refrain]

4. Jesus is calling the children;
Here, Lord, are we,
Safe in the Good Shepherd’s keeping
Ever to be. [Refrain]
