561. Bring Them In

1 Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear,
Out in the desert dark and drear,
Calling the sheep who've gone astray,
Far from the Shepherd's fold away.

Chorus:
Bring them in,
Bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in,
Bring them in,
Bring the wanderers to Jesus.

2 Who'll go and help the Shepherd kind,
Help Him the wand'ring ones to find?
Who'll bring them back into the fold,
Where they'll be sheltered from the cold? [Chorus]

3 Out in the desert hear their cry,
Out on the mountain wild and high.
Hark! 'tis the Master speaks to thee,
"Go, find my sheep where'er they be." [Chorus]
