Sheep Story

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
