I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord
He's calling from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward
In the land where we never shall die

[The Saviour has] paid a great price for me
He died on the hill so [my friends?] should go free
Well, I'll follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him when he calls on that day

I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord
He's calling from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward
In the land where we never shall die.

He died on the cross, that old rugged cross
So we should be saved in our sins and our loss
So I'll follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him when he calls on that day

I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord
He's calling from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward
In the land where we never shall die.
In the land where we never shall die.
In the land where we never shall die.
