Oh sheep of the Lord, who have gone astray,
Hear His voice, come back to Him and stay . . .
For this world is His pasture and we, His own sheep.
Come back to Him, so in Heaven yonder we may sleep.

Hear His voice today . . .He seeks long and wide
For each stray who has left His side . . .
His heart longs for all to be His very own,
So on that glorious day, He’ll takes us home.

In temptation, harden not your heart, but relent . . .
To He, who is our Shepherd, to whom we can repent
To salvation today and take His yoke upon us.
He is our Shepherd; His name is Jesus.

Hear His voice my brethren, oh heed Him today
And He will steer you and guide you all the way.
Beseech Him, trust Him to forgive every sin . . .
He will throw them as far as the east is from the west again.

He knows we are tried and He knows we are weak,
Let us in asking forgiveness, His face to seek . . .
Let us make a joyful noise, sing Praises to His name
And Jesus will take us into His fold, without blame
