lyrics

The text as it first appeared:

1.
Behold the Shepherd’s tender care,
Towards the sheep that strays;
Throughout the desert waste and bare,
He tracks his wand’ring ways.

2.
So Jesus while he sojourned here,
Amidst this waste of sin;
'Tis said He travell’d far and near,
And sought His sheep therein.

3.
To save from everlasting woe
An object of His care;
Behold him “through Samaria go”
A sheep had wandered there.

4.
Though she insults Him to His face,
It matter’d not to Him:
Her name was found among that race,
That Jesus must redeem.

5.
Amidst this flock, belov’d of God,
Manasseh we behold,
And though his fleece was stain’d with blood,
He brought him to the fold.

6.
Yea! from the dregs of sin and woe
Shall Grace her trophies wave;
And each to glory safe shall go,
Whom God ordain’d to save.
