76. That One Lost Sheep

1 Safe were the ninety and nine in the fold
Safe, though the night was stormy and cold
But said the shepherd when counting them o'er
“One sheep is missing, there should be one more!”

Refrain:
The Shepherd went out to search for His sheep
And all thro' the night on the rocky steep
He sought till he found him
With love bands he bound him
And I was that one lost sheep

2 Although His feet were weary and worn
And though His hands were rent and torn
E'en tho' the road was rugged and steep
Still the Good Shepherd sought long for his sheep [Refrain]

3 There in the night He heard a faint cry
From the lost sheep just ready to die
Then in His arms to shield from the cold
He brought the lost one safe back to the fold [Refrain]
