Call Them In

"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."

"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."

"Call them in"-the mere professors,

Slumbering, sleeping, on death's brink;

Naught 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 precious offers,

And of Jesus' priceless worth.

"Call them in"-the broken-hearted,

Cowering '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."
