Refrain:
You hear the lambs a cryin'
Hear the lambs a cryin'
Hear the lambs a cryin'
O shepherd, feed my sheep.

1. Our Savior spoke these words so sweet:
O shepherd, feed my sheep.
Said Peter, if you love me, feed my sheep.
O shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]

2. O Lord, I love thee, thou dost know!
O shepherd, feed my sheep.
Oh, give me grace to love you more.
O shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]

3. Oh, when I am in agony;
O shepherd, feed my sheep.
Oh, when you see me, pity me.
O shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]

4. For I'm a pilgrim, trav'lin on;
O shepherd, feed my sheep.
This lonesome road where Jesus' gone.
O shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]
