Turn thee, O lost one,
care-worn and weary,
Lo! The Good Shepherd
is pleading today;
Seeking to save thee
waiting to cleanse thee:
Haste to receive Him—
no longer delay.
Tenderly calling,
patiently pleading,
Hear the Good Shepherd
calling to thee;
Tenderly pleading,
patiently calling,
Lovingly saying,
“Come unto Me!”
Still He is waiting:
why wilt thou perish?
Though thou hast wandered
so far from the fold—
Yet with His life-blood
He has redeemed thee.
Wondrous compassion
that cannot be told!
Tenderly calling,
patiently pleading,
Hear the Good Shepherd
calling to thee;
Tenderly pleading,
patiently calling,
Lovingly saying,
“Come unto Me!”
List to His message,
think of His mercy!
Sinless, yet bearing
thy sins on the tree;
Perfect remission,
life everlasting,
Through His atonement
He offers to thee.
Tenderly calling,
patiently pleading,
Hear the Good Shepherd
calling to thee;
Tenderly pleading,
patiently calling,
Lovingly saying,
“Come unto Me!”
Come in the old way,
come in the true way,
Enter through Jesus,
for He is the Door;
He is the Shepherd,
tenderly calling.
Come in thy weakness
and wander no more.
Tenderly calling,
patiently pleading,
Hear the Good Shepherd
calling to thee;
Tenderly pleading,
patiently calling,
Lovingly saying,
“Come unto Me!”
