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.

Out of the drea­ry desert,
Into the pas­tures green;
Out of the land of dark­ness
Into the light se­rene.

Refrain

Why should we long­er tar­ry?
Why should we long­er roam?
Far from the place of re­fuge,
Far from the shel­t’ring home?

Refrain

Come, for the hours are wan­ing;
Come from the mount­ains cold;
Come from the storm and tem­pests
Into the Shep­herd’s fold.

Refrain
