No. 36. THE NINETY AND NINE. KEY A.

There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelt er of the fold,

But one was out on the hill s away, Far off from the gate s of gold­

Away on the mount ains wild and bare, Away from the tender Sh eph erd 's care, Away from the tender She pherd 's care.

2 " Lord , Thou hast here thy nin ety and nine; Are they not enough for Th ee?"

But the Sh epherd mad e answer, " 'T is of mine Ha s wandered away from me,"

" And alth ough the rocks be rough and steep, I go to th e desert to find my sheep" I go to the desert to find my sheep.

3 But none of the ransomed ever kn ew How deep were the waters crossed;

Nor how dark was th e night that the Lord passed througa Ere He found the she ep that was lost.

Out in the dese rt He heard its cry, Sick and hel pless and ready to die, Sick and helples s and ready to die .

4 "L ord, whenc e are tho se blood-drops all the way That mark out the mountain's tra ck ?"

"Th ey were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Sheph erd could bring him back."

"L ord , when ce are thy hand s so rent and torn?" "Th ey're pierc ed to-night by many a thorn" "Th ey're pierced to-night by many a thorn."

5 But all through the mountains, thunder -riven, And up from the rocky steep,

Ther e rose a glad cry to the gates of heaven, "Rejoi ce 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. '·
