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 wait­ing, there stand­ing I see,
Jesus, my Shep­herd di­vine.

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.

Refrain

Lingering is but fol­ly,
Wolves are abroad to­day,
Seeking the sheep who’re 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.
