The Ninety-Nine

Author: William G. Schell Hymnal: Timeless Truths #980 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: The ninety-nine within the fold Refrain First Line: Go search it out and bring it home Lyrics: 1 The ninety-nine within the fold Are safe from fears and storms of night, But one is on the mountains cold, ’Twill perish there—how sad the sight! Refrain: Go search it out and bring it home, No more in darkness let it roam; You’ll find it there in dreadful plight, Oh! go and bring it back tonight. 2 The ninety-nine are safe today, They’re all at home, so fully blest, But one is wand’ring far away, Upon the mountain’s snowy crest. [Refrain] 3 The ninety-nine with care are fed, And rest within the Shepherd’s fold; But one is starving, nearly dead, Upon the mountains bare and cold. [Refrain] 4 The Shepherd dear, aloud doth weep Because one lamb afar doth roam; The ninety-nine He’ll safely keep— We’ll seek that lamb and bring it home. [Refrain] Topics: Missionary Scripture: Luke 15:4-7 Tune Title: [The ninety-nine within the fold]
