Sheep Salvation

Tune and Hymn Name: 'To God be the glory'

Luke 15 v.4-7

******

'Twas like one day when a hundred sheep kept

By a shepherd, but then was of one bereft

Though not lost for ever, nor abandoned e'er

Shepherd sets to find it sand shall give up ne'er

 

Chorus

Salvation is proclaimed, now hear the joyful sound

Where one sinner repents, joy in heaven is found

And angels too share in the exaltation

This invite open to souls of each nation

 

So ninety-nine sheep left in wilderness there

But surely providing they have loving care

Yet lost sheep must needs be found, search diligent

Shepherd searched till he found sheep, on travels went - Chorus

 

When finding his lost sheep, he on shoulders laid

And brought it home to fold, his toils repaid

Friends, neighbours called, for time of celebration

For th sheep is found now which once was lost one - Chorus

 

And so welcome home, for the sheep safe, secure

From heaven's delights may it depart ne'er more

'Tis so for each soul that salvation receives

Who the wondrous truth of the gospel believes - Chorus
