Seek the Perishing
Author: Ida Ronyon Finlay Hymnal: Songs of Matchless Love #31 (1904) First Line: Have ye looked for my sheep in the desert Refrain First Line: Go ye out in the wide world and seek them Lyrics: 1 Have ye looked for my sheep in the desert,
For those who have missed their way?
Have ye been in the wild and waste places
Where the lost and the wandering stray?
Have ye trodden the lonely pathway,
The foul and the darksome street?
Ye may see as ye tread the gloaming
The print of my wounded feet.
Refrain:
Go ye out in the wide world and seek them,
Earth’s perishing, bring them in;
They are mine and I died on Calv’ry
To redeem and to save them from sin.
2 Have ye folded in love to your bosom
The trembling, neglected lamb?
Have ye taught to the dear little lost one
The sweet sound of the Good Shepherd’s name?
Have ye searched for the poor and needy,
No clothing, no home, no bread?
O, the dear Son of Man was with them,
With nowhere to lay his head! [Refrain]
3 Have ye carried the pure, living water
To some weary and thirsting soul?
Have ye said to the sick and the wounded,
“There’s One who has grace to make whole!”
Have ye told to my fainting children
How strong is the father’s hand?
Are ye guiding the tott’ring footsteps
To yonder fair “Golden Land?” [Refrain]
4 Have ye stood by the sad and the weary
With cheer, in the hour of death,
To bring comfort to hearts sorrow-stricken,
And to strengthen the feeble in faith?
Have ye felt when ye saw the glory
Stream in thro’ the open door,
Flitting sunlight across the shadows,
That I had been there before? [Refrain] Tune Title: [Have ye looked for my sheep in the desert]
Seek the Perishing

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Follow Thou Me" in Peerless Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

================
Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936.
