Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) ‎#445

445. Bring Them In

1 Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear,
out in the desert dark and drear,
calling the sheep who've gone astray
far from the Shepherd's fold away.

Refrain:
Bring them in, bring them in,
bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wand;ring ones to Jesus.

2 Who'll go and help this Shepherd kind,
help him the wand'ring ones to find?
Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold,
where they'll be sheltered from the cold? [Refrain]

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 sheep where'er they be." [Refrain]
