I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 500 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,001 hymnals Topics: Submission and Profession Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, a foll'wer of the Lamb, and shall I fear to own His cause, or blush to speak His name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies on flow'ry beds of ease, while others fought to win the prize, and sailed thro' bloody seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy word. 5 The saints in all this glorious war shall conquer, though they die; they see the triumph from afar by faith's discerning eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all Thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry thro' the skies, the glory shall be Thine.

From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray; tread all the pow'rs of darkness down and win the well-fought day. 3 Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul; take every virtue, every grace, and fortify the whole. That, having all things done and all your conflicts past, ye may o'ercome thro' Christ alone and stand complete at last. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
