1 Far from the fold, how many sheep are straying, Out on the mountains, desolate and bare; Hungry and cold, with weary feet they wander Far from the homeland and the Shepherd’s care. Refrain: O come, let us go and seek the lost one, Wand’ring far on the mountains cold; ’Twill be sweet to say at the close of day, “I have brought one sheep to the fold.” 2 Who’ll seek the lost? oh, who will follow Jesus, On thro’ the night, nor heeding toil and pain? Who for his sake will prove a servant faithful– Bringing the wand’rer to the fold again? [Refrain] 3 Sweet would it be, if you and I could answer, “Lord, I have sought thy sheep on mountains cold, Faithful to thee, at last, dear Lord, I’ve found one, Now it is safely sheltered in thy fold.” [Refrain] | Songs of Love and Praise No. 4 #72 (1897) |
