SS&S 484: I WAS A WANDERING SHEEP

 SS&S 484: I WAS A WANDERING SHEEP

1. I was a wandering sheep,

I did not love the fold;

I did not love my Shepherd's voice,

I would not be controlled:

I was a wayward child,

I did not love my home,

I did not love my Father's voice,

I loved afar to roam.

 

2. The Shepherd sought His sheep,

The Father sought His child;

They followed me o'er vale and hill,

O'er deserts waste and wild:

They found me nigh to death,

Famished, and faint, and lone;

They bound me with the bands of love,

They saved the wandering one.

 

3. Jesus my Shepherd is,

'Twas He that loved my soul;

'Twas He that washed me in His blood,

'Twas He that made me whole;

'Twas He that sought the lost,

That found the wandering sheep;

‘Twas He that brought me to the fold,

'Tis He that still doth keep.

 

4. I was a wandering sheep,

I would not be controlled;

But now I love my Saviour's voice,

I love, I love the fold.

I was a wayward child,

I once preferred to roam;

But now I love my Father's voice----

I love, I love His home.
