Author: R. E. Eads Hymnal: Gold Tried in the Fire #62 (1904) First Line: Safe are the sheep in fold Refrain First Line: Are you the lamb outside Lyrics: 1 Safe are the sheep in fold,
But there’s a lamb outside!
Hunger and freezing cold
Threaten the lamb outside!
Chorus:
Are you the lamb outside,
Out of the flock’s abode?
Are you the lamb outside,
Out of the fold of God?
2 Jesus, the shepherd, knows
There is a lamb outside!
Quick to the rescue goes—
Goes to the lamb outside! [Chorus]
3 Gently his voice resounds,
Calling the lamb outside!
Oh, how his love abounds—
Love for the lamb outside! [Chorus]
4 Enter the open door,
Perishing lamb outside!
Let it be said no more,
There is a lamb outside! [Chorus]
