The Shepherd Jesus Is Ready Now


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. [Refrain]
