There Were Ninety and Nine

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Douglas Clephane Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #187 (1990) Meter: Irregular Topics: Seeking Christ of God Seeking Man 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. 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 that the Lord passed thro' ere he found his sheep that was lost. Out in the desert he heard its cry — sick and helpless, and ready to die, 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're pierced tonight by many a thorn, they're pierced tonight by many a thorn." 5 But all thro' the mountains, thunder-riv'n, and up from the rocky steep, there arose a glad cry to the gate of heav'n, "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!"

Jesus, in our hearts the light of love restore! Draw us closer than we’ve ever been before. Refrain: Rally in the name of Jesus, one and all! Rally round our glorious Captain, at His call! Let the tread of gathering soldiers, great and small, Be the answer sent to Him our hearts extol. 2 Like a mighty army let us march along, Daily seeking others for our happy throng; Leading them from error and the paths of wrong To the feet of Jesus, where we all belong. [Refrain] 3 Jesus calls the glad ones and the sad ones too, Rich and poor, the high and low, the false and true; Brother! sister! harken, and lay hold anew For He has a work that’s suited just to you. [Refrain] 4 Sinner, comes there not a call to you, today? Don’t you hear a tender voice within you say, “Come to Me, and there abide, both now and aye?” When you hear, God help you come, without delay. [Refrain] Tune Title: RALLY
