Lyrics The Stanley Brothers

The Stanley Brothers

I Hear My Savior Calling

My friends have gathered here around me

They know I'll soon be on my way

To live up there with Christ forever

That lovely land far away

I hear my savior now a callin'

He bids me now to come home

I'll stead'ly follow in his footsteps

I know he'll guide me safely home

In this world we're only strangers

We have sinned and all done wrong

But if you'll kneel in prayer my brother

At journey's end he'll call you home

I'm ready now for the journey

I know I'll soon be on my way

Sweet angels voices now will guide me

Oh heaven can't be far away
