Refrain: There are storms for those on the mountain side, There is snow and bitter cold; But safe and warm and sheltered from harm, Are our wee white lambs in the fold. 2 There is many a lamb that has gone astray, There are wanderers young and old. But how pure and sweet at the Shepherd’s feet, Lie our wee white lambs in the fold. [Refrain] 3 O hearts that are mourning a wee one gone, Who long its face to behold; Thank God for the care that protects them There, The wee white lambs in the fold.
