Urge Them to Come

1In the highways and hedges go seek for the lost,
Gather them into the fold,
Was the earnest command that our Saviour divine Taught His disciples of old.

RefrainUrge them to come, show them the way;
Tenderly, lovingly, bring them today;
Urge them to come, why should they roam?
Bring them along to our dear Saviour's home.

2If the Shepherd we love, we will care for the sheep:
Precious are they in His sight;
They are out in the desert, they wander alone;
Lead them from darkness to light.

3To the weary and thirsty the Saviour has said,
“Come, heavy laden, to Me,
I will give you to drink of the water of life;”
Tell them the fountain is free.

4There's a welcome for all in the kingdom of grace,
All who repent and believe;
And the souls that have stray'd and returned to the fold,
Jesus will gladly receive.
