Lyr. Add: HEAR THE LAMBS A-CRYING
As sung at Fisk University

You hear the lambs a-crying?
Hear the lambs a-crying!
Hear the lambs a-crying!
O Shepherd, feed my sheep!

My Savior spoke these words so sweet,
O Shepherd, feed my sheep!
Peter, if you lome me, feed my sheep.
O Shepherd, feed my sheep!
Lord, I love Thee, Thou dost know.
O Shepherd, feed my sheep!
Give me grace to love Thee more.
O Shepherd, feed my sheep.

When I groan upon the tree,
O etc.

When Thou seeist, pity me;
O etc.

For I'm a pilgrim trav'ling home,
O etc.

The lonesome road my Savior trod.
O etc.
