13831. The Savior's Call

1 Oh, hear the Savior gently say:
"Come unto Me, I am the way;
No more in sin and folly roam;
O, wanderer, come home, come home."

Refrain:
Come in your childhood, come;
Come in your childhood, come,
O hear the tender Shepherd’s voice,
Calling the wanderer home.

2 With tender love, behold, He stands,
Showing to us His bleeding hands,
And says, “No longer from Me rove,
But come to Me, behold My love. [Refrain]

3 My love embraces all mankind;
Whoever comes will pardon find;
I’ll wash, and purge and purify,
And fit you for a home on high. [Refrain]
