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!"

There were ninety and nine that safely lay
One Had Wandered
Author: C. C. Clephane Hymnal: Gospel Song-Gems No.1 #162 (1901) 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 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.
Chorus:
O Jesus, thou shepherd divine,
Keep us in the safe, narrow way;
And out of the cold lead into thy fold
Some poor wand'ring soul, we pray.
2 "Lord, thou hast here Thy ninety and nine:
Are they not enough for thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "'Tis of mine
Has wandered away from me:
And altho' the road be rough and steep
I go to the desert to find my sheep,
I go to the desert to find my sheep. [Chorus]
3 But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed:
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thro'
Ere he found his sheep that was lost,
Out in the desert he heard its cry—
"They are Sick and helpless, and ready to die,
Sick and helpless, and ready to die. [Chorus]
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?"
pierced tonight by many a thorn,"
"They are pierced tonight by many a thorn." [Chorus]
5 But all through the mountains, thunder-riven,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose 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." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]
