Author: Dr. C. R. Blackall Hymnal: Christ in Song #531 (1908) Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity First Line: In the highways and hedges go seek for the lost Refrain First Line: Urge them to come, show them the way Lyrics: 1 In the highways and hedges go seek for the lost,
Gather them in to the fold,
Was the earnest command that our Saviour divine
Taught his disciples of old.
Chorus:
Urge them to come, show them the way;
Tenderly, lovingly, bring them today;
Urge them to come, why should they roam?
Bring them along to our dear Saviour's home.
2 If the Shepherd we love, we will care for the sheep;
Precious are they in his sight;
They are out in the desert, they wander alone;
Lead them from darkness to light. [Chorus]
3 To the weary and thirsty the Saviour has said,
"Come, heavy laden, to me,
I will give you to drink of the water of life;"
Tell them the fountain is free. [Chorus]
4 There's welcome for all in the kingdom of grace,
All who repent and believe;
And the souls that have stray'd and returned to the fold,
Jesus will gladly receive. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the highways and hedges go seek for the lost]
