Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Conversion of a sinner First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

Praise for Conversion

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXLIV (1791) Topics: Conversion First Line: Ye Souls that fear the Lord Lyrics: 1 Ye Souls that fear the Lord, Come, listen while I tell, How narrowly my Feet escap'd The Snares of Death and Hell. 2 The shatt'ring Joys of Sense Assail'd my foolish Heart, While Satan, with malicious Skill, Guided the pois'nous Dart. 3 I fell beneath the Stroke, But fell to rise again; My Anguish rous'd me into Life, And Pleasure sprung from Pain. 4 Darkness, and Shame, and Grief Oppress'd my gloomy Mind; I look'd around me for Relief, But no Relief could find. 5 At Length to God I cry'd; He heard my plaintive Sigh, He heard, and instantly he sent Salvation from on High. 6 My drooping Head he rais'd, My bleeding Wounds he heal'd, Pardon'd my Sins, and with a Smile The gracious Pardon seal'd. 7 O! may I ne'er forget The Mercy of my GOD; Nor ever want a Tongue to spread His loudest Praise abroad.
