While the Shep­herd is call­ing, O lamb gone as­tray,
To the shel­ter­ing fold re­turn;
Hear ye Him, and the won­der­ful sum­mons obey,
Nor the joy of sal­va­tion spurn!

Refrain

Hear ye Him, hear ye Him,
He is call­ing you, way­ward one;
Hear ye Him, hear ye Him,
Christ, the Fa­ther’s be­lov­èd Son.

Hear ye Him, is the Fa­ther’s en­trea­ty di­vine,
To each pil­grim who jour­neys here;
O be­lieve His sweet mes­sage, sin’s fol­ly re­sign,
And ac­cept Him with love sin­cere!

Refrain

He is bid­ding you now to the har­vest so white,
There to ga­ther the fall­en grain;
Hear ye Him, and with reap­ers of cour­age unite,
And bright sheaves for His king­dom gain.

Refrain

When the tem­pest is rag­ing and dark is the night,
Still the Sav­ior is kind­ly near;
Hear ye Him, as He mur­murs, Fear not, I’m the light,
And to safe­ty your bark will steer.

Refrain
