First Line: Back from the weary wandering ,

Back from the weary wandering
Into the narrow way ;
Jesus is tenderly calling,
Calling the sheep that stray.

Still, still Jesus is calling :
Hear, oh hear Him say :
Weary, heavy laden,
Come, come to-day !

2 Out of the dreary desert
Into the pastures green,
Out of the land of darkness
Into the light serene.

3 Why should we longer tarry,
Why should we longer roam
Far from the place of refuge,
Far from the sheltering home ?

4 Come, for the hours are waning ;
Come from the mountains cold ;
Come from the storm and tempest
Into the Shepherd's fold !
