110. You Hear the Lambs a-Cryin'

Refrain:
You hear the lambs a-cryin’,
hear the lambs a-cryin’,
hear the lambs a-cryin’
O Shepherd, feed my sheep.

1 My Savior spoke these words so sweet,
O Shepherd, feed my sheep.
sayin’ 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.
O give me grace to love thee more.
O Shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]

3 O wasn’t that an awful shame?
O Shepherd, feed my sheep.
He hung three hours in mortal pain.
O Shepherd, feed my sheep. [Refrain]
