1 Lovingly, tenderly, bring in the lost ones, bring them in;
Pray’rfully, trustingly, lift up the fallen from their sins.

Refrain:
Go, gather them in from the fields of sin,
Souls that are dying, bring them in.
Go, gather them in from the fields of sin,
Souls that are dying, bring them in.

2 Faithfully, loyally, seek ev’ry wand’rer back to win;
Pleadingly, patiently, teach them the new life to begin. [Refrain]

3 Joyfully, cheerfully, welcome the falt’ring, help them in;
Fervently, longingly, lead them to Christ who saves from sin. [Refrain]
