Now I’m outside! Now I’m outside! All the rest are safely folded, While I am outside. 2 The sun sank low, and lower, but still I wandered on, Unmindful of the gentle voice that called; I tho’t to turn and follow before the light was gone, And with the rest to enter safe the fold. Now I’m outside! Now I’m outside! All the rest are safely folded, While I am outside. 3 But darkness settled quickly, and ere I was aware How very wild and rough the way had grown, I could not see the Shepherd; his voice I could not hear; And I was left to wander on alone. Now I’m outside! Now I’m outside! All the rest are safely folded, While I am outside. 4 Oh, wand’rer, whom the Savior in mercy calls today, Obey his voice and follow near his side, Before the earth-born darkness his form shall hide away; And with his sheep infolded safe abide. Tho’ you’re outside, Tho’ you’re outside, Still the loving Shepherd’s seeking To bring you inside! Used With Tune: [The gentle Shepherd wandered]
