The Good Shepherd

Verse 1

Afar on the mountain the Shepherd Is seeking the lost ones to save; Oh, flee to the arms of His mercy, For thee His life freely He gave.

Chorus

Then come, wanderer, come, The gate is wide open for thee; Borne safe from all harm On the Shepherd’s strong arm, A rock and a refuge is He.

Verse 2

Though far from the fold thou hast wandered In byways of sorrow and sin, Fear not, ’tis the Shepherd that’s calling, He’s longing to welcome thee in.

Verse 3

Though darkness and danger assail thee On deserts so dreary and cold, The light of His presence will guide thee Safe into the sheltering fold.

Verse 4

There in the green pastures He’ll give thee A place of sweet comfort and rest; Beside the still waters He’ll lead thee Till safe in the home of the blest.
