The Welcome ‎#26

26. Seek the gentle Shepherd

1. Seek the gentle Shepherd,
Enter by the door;
All the fold is peaceful,
sin can come nomore;
You shall dwell in safety,
Neath His loving care,
Evil can not harm you there.

2. Seek the gentle Shepherd,
Ever kind and true,
Who is ever watching
Over me and you;
And He's gently calling,
Saying: "come to me!
Children, come, my love is free."

Refrain:

Seek the gentle Shepherd,
Come, Oh, why delay?
Seek the blessed Savior;
Come to Him today;
Seek the gentle Shepherd,
From Him never stray;
Come, Oh, come to Him today.
