Gather Them Into the Fold

Representative Text

1 Children are straying afar from the way,
Gather them into the fold,
Tell them the Saviour is calling today,
Gather them into the fold.

Chorus:
Gather, gather,
Gather them into the fold,
Gather, gather,
Gather them into the fold.

2 Many are friendless and homeless today,
Gather them into the fold,
Tell of that Friend and that home far away,
Gather them into the fold. [Chorus]

3 Tell of bright fields and the river of life,
Gather them into the fold,
Waiting them after earth’s sorrow and strife,
Gather them into the fold. [Chorus]
