He is call¤ing you home; will you heark¤en to Him?
You are stray¤ing a¤far from the ¤fold,
To the riv¤er of death, with no hope in your heart–
Its wa¤ters lie sul¤len and ¤cold.

Chorus:
The Sav¤iour is call¤ing you ¤home;
A wel¤come is wait¤ing you ¤there.
He laid down His life your soul to re¤deem
And save you from hope¤less de¤¤spair.

There are dan¤gers un¤told in the path you now tread,
With no hope of es¤cape for your ¤soul;
Then, O turn while you may, and give ear to His voice!
Come un¤der the Shep¤herd’s con¤¤trol.

He will lift all the gloom which is shroud¤ing your life,
Grow¤ing dark¤er each step as you ¤go;
All the guilt of the past He will free¤ly for¤give;
His in¤fi¤nite love you will ¤know.

To His com¤fort and rest, then, O has¤ten a¤way!
Lose no time, lest your soul should be ¤lost.
With no Christ in your heart, drift¤ing on to your doom,
O say, have you count¤ed the ¤cost?
