55*. "Call Them In"--The Poor, the Wretched

8,7.
by A. Shipton
1
"Call them in" — the poor, the wretched,
 
Sin-stained wanderers from the fold;
 
Peace and pardon freely offer;
 
Can you weigh their worth with gold?
 
"Call them in" — the weak, the weary,
 
Laden with the doom of sin;
 
Bid them come and rest in Jesus;
 
He is waiting — "call them in."
2
"Call them in" — the brokenhearted,
 
Cow’ring neath the brand of shame;
 
Speak love’s message low and tender:
 
’Twas for sinners Jesus came.
 
See, the shadows lengthen round us,
 
Soon the day-dawn will begin;
 
Can you leave them lost and lonely?
 
Christ is coming — "call them in."
