Tune & Hymn: Amazing Grace
Luke Chapter 15 parts
********
A lost sheep found, praises redound
Was heard the bleating sound
Shepherd the sheep on shoulder laid
Brought home and undelayed
More joy in heaven over one
Returned, repentance done
More joy than over ninety nine
Who have repented fine
A lost coin* found, room was swept (*drachma)
A tidy household kept
Then found the missing piece again
And was rejoicing then
So joy in presence of angels
When good news it retells
Of one sinner who repents sure
Now found, saved, evermore
A lost person home returning
Had squandered everything
Implored his father\'s mercy to
Be welcomed home anew
Father received his prodigal
Son, and rejoicing all
Was made, for he was lost, now found
Celebrations abound
And too was dead but now alive
Repentant, he would thrive
Tale of sheep, coins, people, they
Tell of God\'s grace today
