1 List to the Sav­ior’s plead­ing call,
Hark, how its ac­cents so soft­ly fall,
Filled with a ten­der yearn­ing love;
“Enter the path that leads above.

Refrain:
"Come to Me, come to Me,
Child of My ten­der love to be;
Come to Me, come to Me,
Come, for My love hath ran­somed thee!”

2 Hark, ’tis the still, small voice again,
Louder it speaks to the sons of men,
Calling to all, ere cares in­crease:
“Enter the plea­sant paths of peace. [Refrain]

3 Speaks this sweet voice to ev­ery heart;
Heed its blest call, or it may de­part!
Care, with its voic­es loud, will come,
Hiding the call from the saints’ bright home. [Refrain]
