Are you staying, safely staying
In the tender Shepherd's peaceful fold?
No, I'm straying, sadly straying,
On the lonely mountains, dark and cold.
On your ear his loving tones are falling,
For he seeks you, wheresoe'er you roam.
Hear him calling, sweetly calling,
As he bids his wand'ring sheep come home
Are you hearing, gladly hearing,
How he bids his folded flock rejoice?
No, I'm fearing, sadly fearing,
I have followed far the stranger's voice
On your ear his loving tones are falling,
For he seeks you, wheresoe'er you roam.
Hear him calling, sweetly calling,
As he bids his wand'ring sheep come home
Are you roaming, longer roaming,
In the cold, dark night of doubt and sin?
No, I'm coming, quickly coming!
Open door, make haste to let me in.
On your ear his loving tones are falling,
For he seeks you, wheresoe'er you roam.
Hear him calling, sweetly calling,
As he bids his wand'ring sheep come home
