[Intro] G G D G G G D G C C C C G G D G [Verse 1]
           G                    D      G
There were ninety and nine that safely lay

       G              D
In the shelter of the fold

    G
But one was out on the hills away

     D                    G
Far off from the gates of gold

 B          Em         B      Em
Away on the mountains wild and bare

 G                    D         G
Away from the tender shepherd's care

 G                    D         G
Away from the tender shepherd's care
G G C D G G C D [Verse 2]
    G                  D          G
"Oh thou hast here thy ninety and nine

    G                   D
Are they not enough for thee?"

        G
But our shepherd made answer:

 G               D                  G
"This of mine has wandered away from me!

    B          Em      B         Em
And though the road be rough and steep

  G                   D       G
I go to the desert to find my sheep!

  G                   D       G
I go to the desert to find me sheep!"
G G C D G G C D [Verse 3]
G                    D    G
None of the ransomed ever knew

    G                     D
How deep were the waters crossed

        G
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed though

        D                       G
Ere he found his sheep that was lost

B          Em        B         Em
Out in the desert he heard its cry

G                     D        G
Sick and helpless and ready to die

G                     D        G
Sick and helpless and ready to die
G G G G G G G G C C C C G G D G G G G G [Verse 4]
    G                         D       G
But all though the mountains, thunder-riven

    G                 D
And up from the rocky steep

      G
There rose a glad cry at the gates of heav'n

   D                       G
"Rejoice, I have found my sheep!"

        B      Em       B        Em
And the angels echoed around the throne

G                             D        G
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!

G                           D        G
Rejoice for the Lord brings back his own!"
