| 1. | O how nigh the Lord is unto all who |
| | call on Him! |
| | When we call, His very presence |
| | strengthens us within. |
| | Seeking Jesus, He is found, and calling, |
| | He is near; |
| | O what a comfort to our hearts to call |
| | His name so dear! |
| | Jesus! O what a name! |
| | O Lord Jesus! Life-giving name! |
| | Name victorious, name all-glorious, |
| | Name exalted-O what a name! |
| | Jesus! Strengthening name! |
| | O Lord Jesus! Comforting name! |
| | Name to breathe in prayer, calling |
| | everywhere; |
| | "O Lord Jesus!" O what a name! |
| | |
| 2. | Call upon the name of Jesus, and you |
| | will be saved, |
| | O Lord Jesus, hallelujah, nevermore |
| | enslaved! |
| | We may take salvation's cup by |
| | calling on the Lord; |
| | Salvation from a host of things |
| | does His dear name afford. |
| | |
| 3. | To the Lord, the Jew, the Greek and |
| | everyone's the same; |
| | He is rich unto all men that call |
| | upon His name. |
| | O Lord Jesus, what a joy to call |
| | and really live; |
| | When breathing in Thy name, what |
| | pleasure Thou to us dost give. |
| 4. | In the God of our salvation we may |
| | take delight, |
| | Calling on His name at all times, |
| | though in bliss or blight. |
| | I will call upon His name as long as |
| | I shall live, |
| | Because He has inclined His ear, |
| | and grace so full does give. |
| 5. | We will call upon the Lord, |
| | who's worthy of our praise; |
| | Thus our grateful hearts in worship |
| | we to Him may raise. |
| | We are those who call upon |
| | His name in every place |
| | With all the saints who from |
| | a pure heart call and taste His grace. |
