O! come, poor, needy children,
Come, turn aside and see
Christ’s wonderful redemption,
The fruit of Calvary;
The Saviour sits exalted,
Salvation now is free,
And the Lord Himself is calling—
Calling Thee.
O! come, poor, thirsty children,
Come, turn aside and see
The wells of free salvation
O’er flowing now for thee.
Our God is still dispersing
His grace and mercy free;
While the Lord Himself is calling—
Calling Thee.
Poor, helpless, doubting children,
There’s blessed news for thee;
All strength belongs to Jesus,
He gained the victory:
He breaks the bonds of Satan,
He sets the captives free;
O! the Lord Himself is calling—
Calling Thee.
No longer doubt the message,
No longer stay away;
A full, a free salvation
His blood provides today.
O! trust thy soul to Jesus,
If thou would’st happy be;
While the Lord Himself is calling—
Calling Thee.
