There were F#ninety and nine that C#safely F#lay
In the shelter of the C#fold
But F#one was out on the hills away
Far C#7off from the gates of F#gold
ABb7way on the D#mmountains, Bb7wild and D#mbare
AF#way from the tender C#shepherd's F#care

"Lord, F#Thou hast here Thy C#7ninety and F#nine
Are they not enough for C#Thee"
But the F#Shepherd made answer
"This of mine has C#7wandered away from F#me
And Bb7though the D#mroad be Bb7rough and D#msteep
I F#go to the desert to C#find my F#sheep
I F#go to the desert to C#7find my F#sheep"
But F#none of the ransomed C#ever F#knew
How deep were the waters C#7crossed
Nor how F#dark was the night that the Lord passed through
Ere He C#found His sheep that was F#lost
Bb7Out in the D#mdesert He Bb7heard its D#mcry
F#Sick and helpless and C#ready to F#die
F#Sick and helpless and C#7ready to F#die
But F#all through the mountains, C#7thunder F#riven
And up from the rocky C#7steep
There F#rose a glad cry at the gates of Heaven
"ReC#7joice, I have found my F#sheep!"
And the Bb7angels D#mechoed aBb7round the D#mthrone
"ReF#joice for the Lord brings C#back His F#own!
ReF#joice for the Lord brings C#7back His F#own!"
