Author: Bonar Hymnal: International Song Service #228 (1895) 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 Shepherd's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child:
They follow 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.
