Gospel Hymns No. 6 ‎#43

43. Calling to Thee

1 Out on 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!

Refrain:
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!

2 Far on the mountain, why wilt thou wander?
Darker and darker, thy pathway will be;
Turn from thy roaming, fly from its dangers,
While the Good Shepherd is calling to thee! [Refrain]

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! [Refrain]
