Clephane Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd; Christ Shepherd 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: “This of Mine Has wandered 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 ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed 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 those blood-drops all the way, That mark out the mountain’s track?” “They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.” “Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?” "They’re pierced tonight by many a thorn; They’re pierced tonight by many a thorn.” 5 And all thro' the mountains, thunder-riv’n, And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of heav’n, “Rejoice! I have found my sheep!” And the angels echoed around the throne, “Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own! Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!” Scripture: Matthew 18:12 Used With Tune: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 499 hymnals Topics: Christ Shepherd Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring 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 wand'ring 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 wand'ring sheep, 'twas he that brought me to the fold, 'tis he that still doth keep. 4 I was a wand'ring sheep, I would not be controlled; but now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold. I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; but now I love my Father's voice, I love, I love his home. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Used With Tune: LEBANON

O what shall I ask of Thy Providence more? 4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God, Still follow my steps, till I meet Thee above: I seek by the path which my forefathers trod, Thro' the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love; Thro' the land of their sojourn, Thy kingdom of love.

Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: Christ As Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, that man to judge thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered: for man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was thine incarnation, thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation: thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, not my deserving.
