1 Back from the weary wand’ring,
Into the narrow way
Softly is Jesus calling,
Calling the sheep that stray.
Refrain:
Still, still Jesus is calling—
Hear, O hear Him say:
Weary, heavy laden,
Come, come today.
2 Out of the dreary desert,
Into the pastures green;
Out of the land of darkness
Into the light serene. [Refrain]
3 Why should we longer tarry?
Why should we longer roam?
Far from the place of refuge,
Far from the shelt’ring home? [Refrain]
4 Come, for the hours are waning;
Come from the mountains cold;
Come from the storm and tempests
Into the Shepherd’s fold. [Refrain]
