154. Tend My Sheep

1 Have you heard the Master saying,
"Go and feed my lambs today,
On the mountains they are straying,
Faint with hunger, far away?"

Chorus:
"If ye love me, go and win them;
Take to them the heav'nly bread;
If ye love me, quickly bring them,
To the living Fountainhead."

2 Have you heard the Shepherd calling,
"Bring the wand'rers to the fold,
Ere the ev'ning shades are falling
O'er the mountains drear and cold?" [Chorus]

3 "If ye love me, keep my saying:
Go and tend my sheep today,
Far from home their steps are straying,
From the straight and narrow way." [Chorus]

4 Then how sweet, when night is falling,
Not to come to him alone!
O what joy to hear him calling,
"Come, ye faithful to my throne!" [Chorus]
