Verse 1:
      G+G          D MajorD   G+G
There were ninety and nine that safely lay
    G+G       D MajorD
In the shelter of the fold
  G+G
But one was out on the hills away
   D MajorD          G+G
Far off from the gates of gold
 BB     E minorEm     BB   E minorEm
Away on the mountains wild and bare
 G+G          D MajorD     G+G
Away from the tender shepherd's care
 G+G          D MajorD     G+G
Away from the tender shepherd's care

Verse 2:
  G+G         D MajorD     G+G
"Oh thou hast here thy ninety and nine
  G+G          D MajorD
Are they not enough for thee?"
    G+G
But our shepherd made answer:
 G+G        D MajorD         G+G
"This of mine has wandered away from me!
  BB     E minorEm   BB     E minorEm
And though the road be rough and steep
 G+G          D MajorD    G+G
I go to the desert to find my sheep!
 G+G          D MajorD    G+G
I go to the desert to find me sheep!"

Verse 3:
G+G          D MajorD  G+G
None of the ransomed ever knew
  G+G           D MajorD
How deep were the waters crossed
    G+G
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed though
    D MajorD            G+G
Ere he found his sheep that was lost
BB     E minorEm    BB     E minorEm
Out in the desert he heard its cry
G+G           D MajorD    G+G
Sick and helpless and ready to die
G+G           D MajorD    G+G
Sick and helpless and ready to die

Verse 4:
  G+G             D MajorD    G+G
But all though the mountains, thunder-riven
  G+G         D MajorD
And up from the rocky steep
   G+G
There rose a glad cry at the gates of heav'n
  D MajorD            G+G
"Rejoice, I have found my sheep!"
    BB   E minorEm    BB    E minorEm
And the angels echoed around the throne
G+G               D MajorD    G+G
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own!
G+G              D MajorD    G+G
Rejoice for the Lord brings back his own!"
