202. Jesus, the Loving Shepherd

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.

Chorus:
Lovingly, tenderly calling is He,
"Wanderer, wanderer, come unto Me."
Patiently waiting, there standing I see
Jesus, my Shepherd divine.

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. [Chorus]

3 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;
Enter the fold of safety,
Where there is rest and room. [Chorus]
