The ninety nine

1. The ninety-nine within the fold
   Are safe from fears and storms of night,
   But one is on the mountains cold,
   ’Twill perish there—how sad the sight!
   • Refrain:
     Go search it out and bring it home,
     No more in darkness let it roam;
     You’ll find it there in dreadful plight,
     Oh! go and bring it back tonight.
2. The ninety-nine are safe today,
   They’re all at home, so fully blest,
   But one is wand’ring far away,
   Upon the mountain’s snowy crest.
3. The ninety-nine with care are fed,
   And rest within the Shepherd’s fold;
   But one is starving, nearly dead,
   Upon the mountains bare and cold.
4. The Shepherd dear, aloud doth weep
   Because one lamb afar doth roam;
   The ninety-nine He’ll safely keep—
   We’ll seek that lamb and bring it home.
