The ninety-nine are safely lying In the fold, in the fold; Go search the sheep that’s lost and dying, In the cold, in the cold.

Far away, far away, Has wandered far away; That sheep is lost upon the mountain, Far away, far away.

Far away, far away, Has wandered far away; That sheep is lost upon the mountain, Far away, far away.

That sheep is lost, oh, who will find it? Search today, search today; Oh, sound the voice of bride and Spirit, Search today, search today.

Chorus

Far away, far away, Has wandered far away; That sheep is lost upon the mountain, Far away, far away.

Verse 4

That wand’ring sheep the Lord doth cherish, Gone astray, gone astray; With cold and hunger soon ’twill perish, Far away, far away.

Far away, far away, Has wandered far away; That sheep is lost upon the mountain, Far away, far away.
