The Straying Lambs

lyricist: Andrew Post, 1903
Composer: William Post

Send out the shep­herds to ga­ther them in

Out in the high­ways and by­ways of sin;

Gather the lambs who are stray­ing and cold

Into the great Shep­herd’s fold.

Gather them in

ga­ther them in

Gather the lambs who are stray­ing and cold;

Gather them in

ga­ther them in

Into the great Shep­herd’s fold.

Who’ll act as shep­herds the lost ones to win?

Tell them of Je­sus who died for their sin;

Lead them to Je­sus who cares for their soul

Into the great Shep­herd’s fold.

Who’ll act as shep­herds

and do it with joy?

Carry the mes­sage to that er­ring boy!

Make him to feel that you care for his soul

Thus lead him in­to the fold.

Who’ll act as shep­herds

and do it to­day?

Go for the stray­ing lambs with­out de­lay;

God will rew­ard thee with bless­ings un­told

Up in His great Shep­herd fold.
