Interpretation notes:
The hymn is in 4/4 time and uses dotted rhythms with steady quarter notes.
In the refrain, three quarter notes are set to 'bring them in,' highlighting these key words.
The overall rhythmic character supports the forward-moving text about finding lost sheep and bringing them back to the fold.
