Soft- ly His voice is call- ing now call- ing to you and
me Hark to those tones so sweet and low
o- ver the dis- tant sea Chil- dren of mine a-
bide in love e- ver he seems to say
Ab- dul Ba- ha we turn to thee Thou art the per- fect way.

Soft- ly His voice is call- ing now call- ing to ev- 'ry

Ab- dul Ba- ha we turn to thee Thou art the per- fect way.
