There were ^Gninety and nine that ^Dsafely ^Glay

In the shelter of the ^Dfold
But ^Gone was out on the hills away
Far ^D7off from the gates of ^Ggold
A^B7way on the ^Emmountains, ^B7wild and ^Embare
A^Gway from the tender ^Dshepherd's ^Gcare
A^Gway from the tender ^Dshepherd's ^Gcare

"Lord, ^GThou hast here Thy ^D7ninety and ^Gnine
Are they not enough for ^DThee"
But the ^GShepherd made answer
"This of mine has ^D7wandered away from ^Gme
And ^B7though the ^Emroad be ^B7rough and ^Emsteep
I ^Ggo to the desert to ^Dfind my ^Gsheep
I ^Ggo to the desert to ^D7find my ^Gsheep"

But ^Gnone of the ransomed ^Dever ^Gknew
How deep were the waters ^D7crossed
Nor how ^Gdark was the night that the Lord passed through
Ere He ^Dfound His sheep that was ^Glost
^B7Out in the ^Emdesert He ^B7heard its ^Emcry
^GSick and helpless and ^Dready to ^Gdie
^GSick and helpless and ^D7ready to ^Gdie

But ^Gall through the mountains, ^D7thunder ^Griven
And up from the rocky ^D7steep
There ^Grose a glad cry at the gates of Heaven
"Re^D7joice, I have found my ^Gsheep!"
And the ^B7angels ^Emechoed a^B7round the ^Emthrone
"Re^Gjoice for the Lord brings ^Dback His ^Gown!
Re^Gjoice for the Lord brings ^D7back His ^Gown!"
