‘Israel, Israel, God Is Calling”

is about God’s invitation to “come to Zion.”

The hymn text was written by Richard Smyth, who served three missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the early days of the Church. After serving his first mission in England, he then returned to his native country of Ireland to extend the invitation to rejoice “within Zion’s walls.” The music was from the hymn composed by Charles C. Converse.
