101. Tend My Sheep

1 Have you heard the Master saying,
“Go and feed my lambs today?
On the mountains they are straying,
Faint with hunger, far away.”

Refrain:
“If ye love me, go and win them;
Take to them the heav’nly bread;
If ye love me, quickly bring them
To the living Fountain-head.”

2 Have you heard the Shepherd calling,
”Bring the wand’rers to the fold
Ere the evening shades are falling
O’er the mountains drear and cold?” [Refrain]

3 Then how sweet, when night is falling,
Not to come to him alone!
O what joy to hear him calling,
“Come, ye faithful, to my throne!” [Refrain]
