He's calling you by name,

It's tender, soft,

The beginning of the wooing,

Hear the gentle dove cooing;

then waiting patiently, silently,

Look upon his face,

Till in the wind you catch His voice,

Speaking words of love.

He's calling you by name,

It's tender, soft,

The beginning of the wooing,

Hear the gentle dove cooing.

He's ALL knowing, everything He knows

about you,

For He's calling you through the night,

Calling in the daylight.

Whispering your name and on His hand

your name engraved,

Your name Yes! Your name.

He's calling you by name,

It's tender, soft,

The beginning of the wooing,

Hear the gentle dove cooing.

He's calling you by name,

It's tender, soft,

The beginning of the wooing,

Hear the gentle dove cooing.

If you hide or run away,

busy yourself, wear a disguise,

He'll run after you and speak

your name once again,

For He calls you by name,

Your His love, a gentle dove.

Listen! He's calling you by name.

He's calling you by name,

It's tender, soft,

The beginning of the wooing,

Hear the gentle dove cooing.
