Call Them In

"Call them in;"—the poor, the wretched,

1

"Call them in;"—the poor, the wretched,Sin-stained wand'rers 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 Jew, the Gentile;Bid the stranger to the feast;"Call them in,"—the rich, the noble,From the highest to the least:Forth the Father runs to meet them,He hath all their sorrows seen;Robe, and ring, and royal sandals,Wait the lost ones;—"call them in."

3

"Call them in;"—the mere professors,Slumbering, sleeping, on death's brink;Nought of life are they possessors,Yet of safety vainly think:Bring them in;—the careless scoffers,Pleasure seekers of the earth:Tell of God's most gracious offers,And of Jesus' priceless worth.

"Call them in;"—the broken-hearted,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."
