The Shep­herd Je­sus is rea­dy now
The wan­d’ring sheep to save;
He calls the wan­d’rer from plain and mount­ain,
And from the brink of the grave.

Refrain

The fold is now op­en, the Shep­herd is call­ing,
Poor wan­der­ing sin­ner, come in.
The fold is now op­en, the Shep­herd is call­ing,
Poor wan­der­ing sin­ner, come in.

The Shep­herd Je­sus is call­ing now,
He’s called you oft be­fore
To en­ter in­to His fold and pas­ture—
Lo! He Him­self is the door.

Refrain

The Shep­herd gave for the sheep His life—
He bled and died for you;
Will you re­ject now His love and mer­cy,
Your friend most lov­ing and true?

Refrain

And as you en­ter this Shep­herd’s fold,
Your sins will be for­giv’n;
He’ll fill your heart with His joy o’erflowing,
And lead you safe­ly to Heav’n.
