108 Lovingly, tenderly calling
[V1]
Jesus, the loving shepherd, Calleth thee now to come,
Into the fold of safety, Where there is rest and room;
Come in the strength of manhood,
Come in the morn of youth,
Enter the fold of safety, Enter the way of truth.

Lingering is but folly,
Wolves are abroad today,
Seeking the sheep now straying,
Seeking the lambs to slay;
Jesus, the loving Shepherd,
Calleth thee now to come,
Into the fold of safety,
Where there is rest and room.
