1. Jesus, call Thou me from the world to Thee;
Speed me ever, stay me never;
Jesus, Call Thou me.

2. Not Jerusalem - lowly Bethlehem
'Twas that gave us Christ to save us;
Not Jerusalem.

3. Favored Bethlehem! honored is that name;
Thence came Jesus to release us;
Favored Bethlehem!

4. Wondrous Child divine! warm this heart of mine;
Keep it burning, for Thee yearning,
Wondrous Child divine!

5. Jesus, call Thou me from the world to Thee;
Speed me ever, stay me never;
Jesus, Call Thou me.
