The voice of the Shep¤herd is ¤call¤ing for thee,
He of¤fers thee rich¤es un¤told:
Why wan¤der a¤lone o’er the moun¤tains of sin?
There is rest, there is peace in the fold.

Chorus:
There is ¤rest, there is ¤peace;
There is rest, there is peace in the fold.

Chorus 2:
There is rest, there is peace;

The pleas¤ures of sin ver¤y ¤soon pass a¤way,
They last for a sea¤son, we’re told:
The gold of the King¤dom will nev¤er de¤cay–
Will you come, will you come to the fold?

The voice of the Shep¤herd is ¤call¤ing a¤gain,
Why per¤ish with hun¤ger and cold?
There’s bread and to spare, and no fam¤ine is there,
En¤ter in, en¤ter in to the fold.

The door is still o¤pen, He’s ¤plead¤ing once more,
Re¤deemed you have been not with gold;
The blood of the Lamb with¤out blem¤ish was shed
To se¤cure you a place in the fold.

Be¤ware lest His Spir¤it should ¤strive nev¤er¤more,
The door will be shut, we are told;
In vain you will knock– at your fear He will mock,
And re¤ply, “There’s no room in the fold.”
