Representative Text

1 Out from the highways and byways of sin,
Out from the storm and cold,
Gather the lambs that are straying away,
Into the Shepherd’s fold.

Refrain:
Gather them in, gather them in,
Out from the storm and cold;
Gather the lambs that are straying away,
Into the Shepherd’s fold.

2 Bring them to Jesus from palace and cot,
Waifs from the lane and street,
He will receive them as He did of old,
Guiding their little feet. [Refrain]

3 Gather them in, jewels bright for His crown,
Gather them in today;
Gather the rich and the poor just the same,
Show them the narrow way. [Refrain]
