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.
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.
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.
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.
