Lyrics
Keep calling Him,
Keep calling Him.
Whether he replies or not,
Keep calling him.
In the temple of unceasing prayer
Believe that He’s approaching there.
And call to Him.
Keep calling Him.
Thou dost know I’m praying, Lord,
You know I love no other.
I’ll speak not nor ask when
To expect from you an answer.
You know my heart.
I’ll call to Thee again.
Keep calling Him,
Keep calling Him.
Whether He replies or not,
Keep calling Him.
I’ll wash Thy feet of silence
With the water of my tears.
The altar of my soul will be empty
'Til Thou comest.
I’ll wait for Thee,
No matter days or years.
Keep calling Him,
Keep calling Him.
Whether he replies or not,
Keep calling Him.
In the center of my heart
I have a mystic throne for Thee.
The candles of my joys
Are dimly burning now in hope,
Awaiting Thy coming
Though it be eternity.
Keep calling Him,
Keep calling Him.
Whether He replies or not,
Keep calling Him.
Even when there’s no reply,
Never let your longing die.
And call to Him,
Keep calling him.
Remain persistent, undepressed,
Through dark and seeming silence.
If in the midst of life, disease and death
You play the dancer,
Yet keep calling Him,
You will receive His answer!
Keep calling Him,
Keep calling Him.
Keep calling Him.
