1.

Still the Good Shepherd searches—Trudging through wastelands drear.
/: With heavy heart He’s looking For you, His lamb, so dear. :/

2.

Do you hear Jesus calling? Answer Him if you do.
/: He’s coming to your rescue. He’ll find the way to you. :/

3.

He has the pow’r to help you; He’ll drive the wolves away.
/: With His strong arms He’ll bear you Home to the fold to stay. :/

4.

In the forbidding wildlands Lurk many beasts of prey.
/: In your distress you wander, Far from the fold astray. :/

5.

Stop now your troubled wand’rings. Turn from your ways of sin.
/: You can so quickly perish. Darkness is setting in. :/

6.

Right now the Shepherd calls you. Answer His call tonight.
/: Dear lamb, cry out to Jesus! He knows your grievous plight. :/
