The Shepherd Calls

The Shep­herd stands at the op­en door—

He stands and waits for thee;

He’s call­ing now—has called be­fore—

Oh

list­en to His plea.

He’s call­ing

call­ing

call­ing you

Turn now

today

make Him your choice;

He’s call­ing

call­ing

call­ing you

Oh

list­en to the Shep­herd’s voice.

He’s wait­ing at the out­er gate—

The gate of the op­en fold;

Why lin­ger then or he­si­tate?

His love can­not be told.

Yield Him your hand

and heart and love

Obey the Shep­herd’s call;

Be num­bered in that fold ab­ove

Give Him your life

your all.
