I Hear A Sweet Voice Calling
I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord
It's coming from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward
In the land we shall never die
Jesus who died on cruel Calvary
He shed his life's blood that the world might be free
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him when you cross on that day
[chorus]
Jesus who paid a great price for me
He shed his life's blood so the world might be free
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
Some day you'll meet there on the great judgement day
[chorus]
The original Bill Monroe recording had slightly different lyrics for the verses:
The Saviour has paid a great price for me
He gave his life on Calvary
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him when he calls on that day
He died on the cross, [that old rugged cross?]
That we would be saved from sin [and our loss?]
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And we'll pay our [debts?] on that great judgement day
