The Voice of Thanksgiving ‎#91

91. Thy Saviour Calls Thee

1 Come home! The Shepherd’s eager call,
Rings out upon the mountains cold,
Come home! Its echoes rise and fall,
To lead the wand’rer to the fold.

Refrain:
Come home! Thy Saviour calls thee come!
Come home! Thy way is dark and lone,
Come home! Thy Father loves thee— come!
Come home! O wand’ring one, come home!

2 Come home! O wanderer, rejoice!
Thy Shepherd’s call is wondrous sweet,
He guides the lost ones with His voice;
And homeward brings the weary feet. [Refrain]

3 Come home! And rest within the fold,
Lie down beside the waters still,
Raptures of love as yet untold,
Thy hungry, weary soul shall fill. [Refrain]
