1 Back from the weary wand’ring,
Into the narrow way;
Jesus is tenderly 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 tempest
Into the Shepherd’s fold. [Refrain]
