Lovingly, Tenderly Calling

Author: William Augustine Ogden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8946 First Line: Jesus, the loving Shepherd Refrain First Line: Lovingly, tenderly calling is He Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the loving Shepherd, Calleth thee now to come Into the fold of safety, Where there is rest and room; Come in the strength of manhood, Come in the morn of youth, Enter the fold of safety, Enter the way of truth. Refrain: Lovingly, tenderly calling is He; "Wanderer, wanderer, come unto Me"; Patiently waiting, there standing I see, Jesus, my Shepherd divine. 2 Jesus, the loving Shepherd, Gave His dear life for thee; Tenderly now He’s calling, "Wanderer, come to Me." Haste, for without is danger, "Come," cries the Shepherd blest; Enter the fold of safety, Enter the place of rest. [Refrain] 3 Lingering is but folly, Wolves are abroad today, Seeking the sheep who’re straying, Seeking the lambs to slay; Jesus, the loving Shepherd, Calleth thee now to come Into the fold of safety, Where there is rest and room.
