Hymns - The Ninety Nine - Текст песни

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.
 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.
 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.
