Bring Them In
Words by Alexcenah Thomas
Music by William A. Ogden
1885

John 10"16
"I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen.
I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice,
and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."

          Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear
          Out in the desert dark and drear,
          Calling the sheep who've gone astray
          Far from the Shepherd's fold away.

            Chorus
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring them in from the fields of sin;
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring the wand'ring ones to Jesus.

          Who'll go and help this Shepherd kind,
          Help Him the wand'ring ones to find?
          Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold,
          Where they'll be sheltered from the cold?

            Chorus
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring them in from the fields of sin;
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring the wand'ring ones to Jesus.

          Out in the desert hear their cry,
          Out on the mountains wild and high;
          Hark! 'tis the Master speaks to thee,
          Go find My sheep where'er they be.

            Chorus
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring them in from the fields of sin;
            Bring them in, (go out and) bring them in,
            Bring the wand'ring ones to Jesus.
