A certain man had a hundred sheep.
He counted them every day.
But in the process of time,
One wandered away.
And so he left the ninety and nine,
In the safety of the fold.
While He searched all through the night,
Till the lost He did hold.
Come ye my friends and rejoice with me,
I did gladly pay the cost.
My searching all through the night,
Was to save the lost.
Was a certain woman with ten coins;
But one was lost or misplaced.
To go in public without it,
Would be a disgrace.
She lit a candle and used a broom,
Searching every darkened place.
She found it in the darkness.
It adorns her face.
Come all my friends and rejoice with me,
I did gladly pay the cost.
My purpose for all the toil,
Was to find the lost.
Was a loving father with two sons,
But one left and went astray.
So, he patiently waited;
For that special day.
The lost son said, coming to himself,
“My Father has bread to spare.
I will now go home to Him,
He is waiting there.”
Come now My friends, and rejoice with Me,
I have paid in full sins cost.
All my joy is now fulfilled,
I’ve found what was lost.
