There were ^G#ninety and nine that ^D#safely ^G#lay

In the shelter of the ^D#fold
But ^G#one was out on the hills away
Far ^D#7off from the gates of ^G#gold
A^C7way on the ^Fmmountains, ^C7wild and ^Fmbare
A^G#way from the tender ^D#shepherd's ^G#care
A^G#way from the tender ^D#shepherd's ^G#care

"Lord, ^G#Thou hast here Thy ^D#7ninety and ^G#nine
Are they not enough for ^D#Thee"
But the ^G#Shepherd made answer
"This of mine has ^D#7wandered away from ^G#me
And ^C7though the ^Fmroad be ^C7rough and ^Fmsteep
I ^G#go to the desert to ^D#find my ^G#sheep
I ^G#go to the desert to ^D#7find my ^G#sheep"

But ^G#none of the ransomed ^D#ever ^G#knew
How deep were the waters ^D#7crossed
Nor how ^G#dark was the night that the Lord passed through
Ere He ^D#found His sheep that was ^G#lost
^C7Out in the ^Fmdesert He ^C7heard its ^Fmcry
^G#Sick and helpless and ^D#ready to ^G#die
^G#Sick and helpless and ^D#7ready to ^G#die

But ^G#all through the mountains, ^D#7thunder ^G#riven
And up from the rocky ^D#7steep
There ^G#rose a glad cry at the gates of Heaven
"Re^D#7joice, I have found my ^G#sheep!"
And the ^C7angels ^Fmechoed a^C7round the ^Fmthrone
"Re^G#joice for the Lord brings ^D#back His ^G#own!
Re^G#joice for the Lord brings ^D#7back His ^G#own!"
