The Ninety and Nine

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: Christ in Song #61 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2 "Lord, thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "One of mine Has wander'd away from me, And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransom'd ever knew How deep were the waters cross'd; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord pass'd thro' Ere He found His sheep that was lost. Out in the desert He heard its cry, Sick and helpless, and ready to die. Sick and helpless, and ready to die. 4 "Lord, whence are these blood drops all the way That mark out the mountains' track?" They were shed for one who has gone astray, Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." "Lord, why are thy hands so rent and torn?" They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn." "They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn." 5 But all through the mountains, thunder riven, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep!" And the angels sang around the throne, "Rejoice for the Lord brings back His own!" Languages: English Tune Title: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

Lo! he's standing at your door, Knocking, knocking o'er and o'er; Hear him pleading evermore; Have you no room for Jesus? 2 Wasting all your precious hours, Have you no work for Jesus? Spending these God-given pow'rs, Have you no work for Jesus? Striving not to conquer sin, Seeking not a soul to win, Bringing not a wand'rer in; Have you no work for Jesus? 3 Seeking earth's possessions fair, Have you no time for Jesus? None for gracious deeds to spare, Have you no time for Jesus? Not a grain to store away, Naught your labor to replay, Not a joy for that great day When you shall meet with Jesus. 4 Bearing only worthless leaves, Have you no fruit for Jesus? In your hands no precious sheaves, Have you no fruit for Jesus? Not a grain to store away, Naught your labor to repay, Not a joy for that great day When you shall meet with Jesus.

Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long is waiting still, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 He counsels thee to buy of him Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean; Anoint thine eyes, that thou may'st see, And put away thy stains from thee. 3 O, hear the faithful Witness' voice, He offers now a final choice; Thou art offensive, O lukewarm! Therefore be zealous and reform. 4 His mission now is almost o'er, Before the throne he'll plead no more; The filthy must his filth retain, He that is holy, so remain. 5 His locks with dews of night are wet, But at thy heart he ling'reth yet. Awake! and open wide the door; Bid thy Beloved wait no more. 6 Yes, bring him in, a welcome guest; So shalt thou in his presence rest, And in communion sweet and free, Shalt sup with him and he with thee.

The doom of the dead, the sorrowful dead. 4 Quickly enter the strait way, leading to life; Shun the wide gateway of folly and strife. The Spirit invites you this moment to come; The Saviour is waiting to welcome you home; To welcome you home, to welcome you home.
