Oh, there is a fold well tend­ed
By a shep­herd kind and strong;
Ever from all harm de­fend­ed—
Do you to this fold be­long?

Refrain

Little child­ren, come to Je­sus:
You may to this fold be­long.
Knock, and He will bid you en­ter.
There is room enough for all.

All the lambs are kind and lov­ing;
All obey their shep­herd’s voice.
Day by day His kind­ness prov­ing,
In His love they all re­joice.

Refrain

Kind and gen­tle, lov­ing ev­er,
Seeking those that go as­tray;
Down beside the crys­tal ri­ver,
There He leads them all the day.

Refrain

Knock, and He will bid you en­ter;
For He ne­ver turns away
Those who seek His wel­come ten­der,
But re­ceives and bids them stay.
