Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #256 (1888) First Line: Like sheep we went astray Lyrics: 1 Like sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God--
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
2 How dreadful was the hour,
When God our wanderings laid,
And did at once his vengeance pour
Upon the Shepherd's head!
3 How glorious was the grace,
When Christ sustained the stroke!
His life and blood the Shepherd pays,
A ransom for the flock.
4 But God shall raise his head,
O'er all the sons of men,
And make him see a numerous seed,
To recompense his pain. Topics: Atonement Necessary; Christ Agony of; Christ Ransom; Christ Substitute Scripture: Isaiah 53:4 Languages: English Tune Title: PRAYER
