E17. Hark! 'Tis the Shepherd's Voice I Hear

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.

Refrain:
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wand'ring ones to Jesus.

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

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." [Refrain]
