Tune: Wareham
(\'Jesus, where\'er thy people meet\')
Luke 15 v.4-7
*******
If one having a hundred sheep
That in the fold he there does keep
And if one is lost, the Shepherd kind
Shall search for it \'til he it find
And shall leave others, ninety nine
Sheep, though they be protected fine
But he goes to find sheep, the one lost
He puts in effort, time, and cost
And when he has found it he lays
It on his shoulders, there it stays
He rejoices and brings it home
Saying to others be glad, come
Come join in the celebration
For sheep is found, and lost is none
Likewise joy shall be in heaven
When a sinner repents midst men
More joy than o\'er the ninety nine
Joy that is human and divine
They all be just, have repented
And the lost sheep found that had fled
