Chorus

I hear a voice calling
                        A           E
It must be our Lord (it must be our Lord)
                          B
Its coming from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling
                           A        E
I’ve gained a reward (I’ve gained a reward)
                                  B  E
For the land where we never shall die

Verse 1

The savior who died, on cruel Calvary
He shed His life blood that the world might be free
              E                        A  E
So follow His footsteps, up the narrow way
                                               B
And be ready to meet Him when He calls on that day

Verse 2

                                  A   E
The savior has paid a great price for me
                    B
He gave His life on Calvary
                   E                       A  E
So I’ll follow His footsteps up the narrow way
                              B        E
I’ll pay my debt on the great judgment day

Verse 3

Then she closed her eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darling
On that bright and peaceful shore
