Turn thee, O lost one, careworn and weary, Lo ! the Good Shepherd is pleading to-day ; Seeking to save thee, waiting to cleanse thee: Haste to receive Him----no longer delay !
Tenderly calling, patiently pleading, Hear the Good Shepherd calling to thee; Tenderly pleading, patiently calling, Lovingly saying, " Come unto Me ! "
2. Still He is waiting: why wilt thou perish ? Though thou hast wandered so far from the fold---- Yet with His life-blood He has redeemed thee ; Wondrous compassion that cannot be told !
3. List to His message, think of His mercy ! Sinless, yet bearing thy sins on the tree ; Perfect remission, life everlasting, Through His atonement He offers to thee.
4. Come in the old way, come in the true way, Enter through Jesus, for He is the Door ; He is the Shepherd, tenderly calling; Come in thy weakness and wander no more.
