10956. Calling To Thee

1 Out on the mountain, sad and forsaken,
Lost in its mazes, no light canst thou see;
Yet in His mercy, full of compassion,
Lo! the Good Shepherd is calling to thee.

Refrain:
Calling to thee, calling to thee;
Jesus is calling, "Come unto Me;"
Calling to thee, calling to thee,
Heard the Good Shepherd calling to thee.

2 Far on the mountain, why wilt thou wander?
Deeper in darkness thy pathway will be;
Turn from thy roaming, fly from its dangers,
While the Good Shepherd is calling to thee. [Refrain]

3 Flee from thy bondage, Jesus will help thee,
Only believe Him, and thou shalt be free;
Wonderful mercy, boundless compassion,
Still the Good Shepherd is calling to thee. [Refrain]
