When the wolf comes, he runs away;

Without protection, sheep unguarded

Can be scattered, go astray.

From many folds he brings his sheep

Into one flock; they know his voice;
Into one flock; they know his voice;
They listen to his words of love

And in them they can all rejoice.

Of joyful ones and those who weep;

He calls us to protect and love,

To shepherd all God’s precious sheep.
