159. Bring Them In

1 Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear,
Out in the desert dark and drear,
Calling the lambs who've gone astray,
Far from the Shepherd's fold away.

Chorus:
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin!
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the little ones to Jesus.

2 Who'll go and help this Shepherd kind,
Help Him the little lambs to find?
Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold,
Where they'll be sheltered from the cold? [Chorus]

3 Out in the desert hear their cry;
Out on the mountains wild and high,
Hark! 'tis the Master speaks to thee,
"Go find my lambs where'er they be. [Chorus]
