Calling to Thee

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 10:49

Verse 1

Out of the mountain, sad and forsaken, Lost in its mazes, no light canst thou see; Yet in His mercy, full of compassion, Lo! the Good Shepherd is calling to thee.

Chorus

Calling to thee, calling to thee; Jesus is calling, "Come unto Me," Calling to thee, calling to thee, Hear the Good Shepherd calling to thee.

Verse 2

Far on the mountain, why wilt thou wander? Deeper in darkness thy pathway will be; Turn from thy roaming, fly from its dangers, While the Good Shepherd is calling to thee.

Chorus

Calling to thee, calling to thee; Jesus is calling, "Come unto Me," Calling to thee, calling to thee, Hear the Good Shepherd calling to thee.

Verse 3

Flee from thy bondage, Jesus will help thee, Only believe Him, and thou shalt be free; Wonderful mercy, boundless compassion, Still the Good Shepherd is calling to thee.

Chorus

Calling to thee, calling to thee; Jesus is calling, "Come unto Me," Calling to thee, calling to thee, Hear the Good Shepherd calling to thee.
