Some Mother's Child

Verse 1

Some mother’s child, out in the wild, Far from the dear Shepherd’s fold; Bruised by the storm, sad and forlorn, Lost in the darkness and cold.

Chorus

Some mother’s child, out in the wild, Strayed from the fold away; Loved ones are there, pleading in pray’r, Praying for you all day.

Verse 2

Some mother’s child, head-strong and wild, Snared by the demon of drink; Hell is your doom, dense is the gloom Oh, sinner, stop now and think.

Verse 3

Some mother’s child, lost and beguiled, Jesus is passing this way— Seeking the lost, great tho’ the cost, Turning their night into day.

Verse 4

Some mother’s child, looked up and smiled, When the Samaritan came; Great tho’ the need, kind was the deed, Done in the Master’s dear name.

Verse 5

Some mother’s child, saved from the wild, Sitting with Christ on His throne; Ever to be, happy and free, With the redeemed ones at home.

Verse 6

Some mother’s child, saved from the wild, Walking the streets of gold; Ever to be, happy and free, Safe in the heav’nly fold.
