Lyrics 1 Back from the weary wand’ring, Into the narrow way; Jesus is tenderly calling, Calling the sheep that stray. Refrain: Still, still Jesus is calling,— Hear, O hear Him say: “Weary, heavy laden, Come, come today!” 2 Out of the dreary desert Into the pastures green, Out of the land of darkness Into the light serene. [Refrain] 3 Why should we longer tarry, Why should we longer roam Far from the place of refuge, Far from the shelt’ring home? [Refrain] 4 Come, for the hours are waning: Come from the mountains cold; Come from the storm and tempest Into the Shepherd’s fold. [Refrain]
