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; Enter the fold of safety, Where there is rest and room.
Chorus
Lovingly, tenderly calling is He, "Wanderer, wanderer, come unto Me." Patiently waiting, there standing I see Jesus, my Shepherd divine.
