Lovingly, Tenderly Calling

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.

Lovingly

ten­der­ly call­ing is He;

Wanderer

wan­der­er

come un­to Me;

Patiently wait­ing

there stand­ing I see

Jesus

my Shep­herd di­vine.

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.

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.
