572: Jesus the Loving Shepherd

Verse 1
Jesus, the loving Shepherd,
Calleth thee now to come
Into the fold of safety,
Where there is rest and room;
Come in the strength of manhood,
Come in the morn of youth,
Enter the fold of safety,
Enter the way of truth.

Refrain
Lovingly, tenderly calling is He:
Wanderer, wanderer, come unto me;
Patiently standing there, waiting. I see
Jesus my Shepherd divine.

Verse 2
Jesus, the loving Shepherd,
Gave His dear life for thee;
Tenderly now He's calling,
Wanderer, come to Me;
Haste, for without is danger,
Come, cries the Shepherd blest,
Enter the fold of safety,
Enter the place of rest.

Verse 3
Lingering is but folly;
Wolves are abroad today,
Seeking the sheep now straying,
Seeking the lambs to slay;
Jesus, the loving Shepherd,
Calleth thee now to come
Into the fold of safety,
Where there is rest and room.
