There Were Ninety and Nine That Safely Lay

Author: Elizabeth C Clephane, 1830-1869 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #299 (1999) Meter: Irregular 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– So sick and helpless and ready to die; So 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 are pierced tonight by many a thorn, They are pierced tonight by many a thorn." 5 And all through the mountains, thunder-riven, And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of heaven, "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!" AMEN.

Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #23 (1879) 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 had wandered far away, In the desert so lone and cold; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the Shepherd’s tender care; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the Shepherd's tender care. 2 Shepherd, hast thou not here thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for thee? The Shepherd replied, "This one of mine, Has wandered away from me; The way may be wild and rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep; The way may be wild and rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever know How deep were the waters crossed, How dark was the night the Lord passed through Ere he found the sheep that was lost. Away in the desert he heard its cry, So feeble and helpless and ready to die; Away in the desert he heard its cry, So feeble and helpless and ready to die. 4 And afar up the mountain, thunder riven, And along the rocky steep, There arose the glad song of joy to heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep!" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own; And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!"
