Soul! soul! on life’s jour­ney press­ing
Swiftly on from day to day;
List! list! to the Lord’s en­treat­ing,
Walk thou in the nar­row way.

Refrain

Will you fol­low where He leads?
Hear the call, gen­tle call;
Hear the bless­èd in­vi­ta­tion,
Yet He calls, Je­sus calls!

Long! long! you have lone­ly wan­dered,
Knowing not the Fa­ther’s love;
Still! still! in His bound­less mer­cy,
He doth beck­on thee above.

Refrain

Flee! flee! ere the storm clouds low­er,
To the shel­ter of His breast;
Safe! safe! from the pow’r of ev­il
You for ev­er­more shall rest!

Refrain

Cling! cling! in thy weak­ness ev­er,
Close to Je­sus’ bleed­ing side;
Trust! trust! in His pow’r to strength­en,
Cling to Him wha­te’er be­tide.
