Oh, there is a fold well tended
By a shepherd kind and strong;
Ever from all harm defended—
Do you to this fold belong?

Refrain

Little children, come to Jesus:
You may to this fold belong.
Knock, and He will bid you enter.
There is room enough for all.

All the lambs are kind and loving;
All obey their shepherd’s voice.
Day by day His kindness proving,
In His love they all rejoice.

Refrain

Kind and gentle, loving ever,
Seeking those that go astray;
Down beside the crystal river,
There He leads them all the day.

Refrain

Knock, and He will bid you enter;
For He never turns away
Those who seek His welcome tender,
But receives and bids them stay.
