If we go where Jesus leads us,

He reveals a better plan,

For the route to gallant highlands,

Calls our faith to understand!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!

Call the Lord and learn the reason,

Why the peaceful lilies grow,

From the ground they spring in season,

Bloom and bless Christ by their glow!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!

And may all who trust in Jesus,

From old lifelessness move toward,

What reveals our worth and names us,

As the ones who call the Lord!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!

Call the Lord and learn the reason,

Why the smallest sparrows fly

From the fledgling nest, in season,

Tiny feathers win the sky!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!

Call the Lord and learn the reason,

Why the saddest heart shall sing,

From the love that grows, in season,

Joy shall come and earth will ring!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!

If we seek the slightest blessing,

Bless all those, this day, we meet,

Show God’s kindliness unceasing:

It is Christ himself we greet!

Call the Lord, at morn or midnight,

Call the Lord, throughout the day,

Call the Lord, at noon and twilight,

Call the Lord, to lead the way!
