He Calls His Sheep By Name

He calls His sheep by name

1 He calls His sheep by name,
So tender is His care,
And none escapes His watchful gaze,
Or fails His love to share.

Refrain:
He calls His sheep by name,
And loves them all the same;
He leads by pastures green
And waters serene,
He calls His sheep by name.

2 Far from the Shepherd’s fold,
We once had gone astray,
He sought and found us in His love,
And brought us back to stay. [Refrain]

3 No ill can do us harm,
Nor sever from His love,
He’ll safely lead until we rest,
Within the fold above. [Refrain]
