Out in the desert, seeking, seeking, Sinner, 'tis Jesus seeking for thee ; Tenderly calling, calling, calling, Hither, thou lost one, oh, come unto Me !
Jesus is calling, Jesus is calling ; Why dost thou linger ? why tarry away ? Come to Him quickly, say to Him gladly " Lord, I am coming, coming to-day !â
2. Still He is waiting, waiting, waiting ; Oh, what compassion beams in His eye ! Hear Him repeating, gently, gently, Come to thy Saviour, oh, why wilt thou die ?
3. Lovingly pleading, pleading, pleading, Mercy, though slighted, bears with thee yet ; Thou canst be happy, happy, happy ; Come ere the life-star for ever shall set.
