Hymn 307
There were ninety and nine that safe-ly lay
There were ninety and nine that safe-ly lay
In the shel-ter of the fold;
But one was out on the hills away.
Far off from the gates of gold
Away on the mountains wild and bare.
Away from the tender Shepherd's care.
Away from the tender Shepherd's care.
"Lord, Thou hast here thy nine-ty and nine.
Are they not e-nough for Thee?"
But the shep-herd made answer;
"This of Mine Has wan-dered away from Me;
And although the road be rough and steep,
I go to the desert to find My Sheep
I go to the desert to find My Sheep"
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed.
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thro'
Ere He found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick, and helpless, and ready to die,
Sick and helpless, and ready to die.
"Lord, whence are those blooddrops all the way.
That mark out the mountain's track?"
"They were shed for one who had gone astray
Ere the Shepherd could bring him back."
"Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?"
"They're pierced tonight by many a thorn,
"They're pierced tonight by many a thorn."
But all thro' the mountains, thunder-riven
And up from the rocky steep.
There arose a glad cry to the gate of heaven,
"Rejoice! I have found My sheep!"
And the angels ech-oed around the throne;
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!"
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!"
