The Shepherd of Love
is seeking the lost
In paths that are rough and steep;
He’s calling the lambs
that have gone astray,
He’s calling, calling His sheep.
Out of your darkness
of sin and shame,
Into His love, forever the same,
Come to Him now,
believe on His Name,
O answer the call today.
The Shepherd of Love knows
His sheep by name,
And tenderly leads the way;
O weary one, come to
the Shepherd’s fold,
He’s calling, calling today.
Out of your darkness
of sin and shame,
Into His love, forever the same,
Come to Him now,
believe on His Name,
O answer the call today.
The Shepherd of Love
our ransom hath paid,
And offers salvation free;
He’s patiently waiting
for thee to come,
He’s calling, calling for thee.
Out of your darkness
of sin and shame,
Into His love, forever the same,
Come to Him now,
believe on His Name,
O answer the call today.
The Shepherd of Love
now seeketh His sheep,
He seeketh whate’er the cost;
Behold, He is calling
the wand’rer home,
He’s calling, calling the lost.
Out of your darkness
of sin and shame,
Into His love, forever the same,
Come to Him now,
believe on His Name,
O answer the call today.
