Hear Him Calling

Verse 1

Are you staying, safely staying, In the tender Shepherd's peaceful folds? No, I'm straying, sadly straying, On the lonely mountains, dark and cold.

Chorus

On your ear his loving tones are falling, For he seeks you, wheresoe'er you roam. Hear him calling, sweetly calling, As he bids his wand'ring sheep come home.

Verse 2

Are you hearing, gladly hearing, How he bid his folded flock rejoice? No, I'm fearing, sadly fearing, I have followed far the stranger's voice.

Verse 3

Are you roaming, longer roaming, In the cold, dark night of doubt and sin? No, I'm coming, quickly coming! Open door, make haste to let me in.
