O Wandering Sheep, Come Home

Author: Edwin Bert Riddle Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Thru the darkness there comes a sorrowful cry Lyrics: 1 Thru the darkness there comes a sorrowful cry, "O where are My straying sheep?" On mountain, in glen, they languish and die, O where are My straying sheep? Refrain: O wandering sheep, come home; O wandering sheep, come home; Within the warm fold, take shelter from cold, O wandering sheep, come home. 2 O Christians, help sound that sorrowful cry, "O where are My straying sheep?" Help gather them for the fold in the sky, Help gather the straying sheep. [Refrain] 3 The Shepherd still calls with tenderest voice, "O where are My straying sheep?" When lost ones are found, the angels rejoice: Go search for the straying sheep. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Thru the darkness there comes a sorrowful cry]
