Author: Martin Wells Knapp Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Wandering far from the Shepherd away Refrain First Line: Perishing now, perishing now Lyrics: 1 Wandering far from the Shepherd away, Perishing far from the fold, Many the sheep that are dying today, Dying away in the cold. Wandering out on the mountain so drear; Dying away from the Shepherd so dear; Longing, it may be, His sweet voice to hear; Dying away from the fold. Refrain: Perishing now, perishing now, Perishing far from the fold; Perishing now, perishing now, Perishing far from the fold; 2 Jesus, to save them, from Heaven came down; Suffered for them on the tree, Leaving His heavenly mansion and crown; Wonderful! How could it be? Leaving His scepter and city of gold; Welcoming sorrow and torture untold; All to bring wanderers back to the fold; Dying for you and for me. [Refrain] 3 Speed with the Gospel, His mandate obey; Preach it to all of the world; Herald it quickly, no longer delay; Tell it to all of the world; Preach it, eternity’s night draweth near; Preach it, for news of His coming we hear; Preach it, for soon our Lord King will appear; Preach it to all of the world. [Refrain] 4 India’s waiting the message to hear, Message of joy and of love; Africa’s waiting for Jesus to cheer, Tidings from Heaven above; Isles of the ocean are waiting for light; Japan and China are merging from night, Waiting to welcome the heavenly light, Coming from Heaven above. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Wandering far from the Shepherd away] Text Sources: Bible Songs of Salvation and Victory (Cincinnati: M. W. Knapp, 1902)
