THE SHEPHERD OF LOVE
"He calls His...sheep by name, and leads them." John 10:3
Words & Music: Albert Simpson Reitz, circa 1911, alt..
The Shepherd of Love is seeking the lost
In paths that are rough and steep;
He's calling the lambs that have gone astray,
He's calling, calling His sheep.
Refrain
Out of your darkness of sin and shame,
Into His love, forever the same,
Come to Him now, believe in His Name,
O answer the call today.
The Shepherd of Love knows His sheep by name,
And tenderly leads the way;
O weary one, come to the Shepherd's fold,
He's calling, calling today.
Refrain
The Shepherd of Love our ransom has paid,
And offers salvation free;
He's patiently waiting for thee to come,
He's calling, calling for thee.
Refrain
The Shepherd of Love now looks for His sheep,
He seeks them whate'er the cost;
Behold, He is calling the wanderer home,
He's calling, calling the lost.
