¶Lyrics / Text

When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. But O the joy! the transport sweet! When lie the wanderer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbors hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns!
