In the stillness of the dawn, 
Oh, hear the Shepherd's voice, 
And in the clear unfolding morn 
Let heart and thought rejoice. 

One road there is to follow, 
One path alone to tread, 
Oh, dream not for tomorrow, 
Today thou shalt be led, 

What if the road be thorny, 
What if the hillside steep? 
The Shepherd's voice is calling, 
Awake! awake from sleep, 

Oh, if the road be thorny, 
What if the hillside steep? 
The Shepherd's voice is calling, 
Awake! awake from sleep, 

Oh, listen to his counsel, 
Heed not self's easier way, 
Truth's voice alone can lead thee 
Into Love's noontide day, 

What if the road be thorny, 
What if the hillside steep? 
The Shepherd's voice is calling, 
Awake! awake from sleep,
