I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 505 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home.

Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast: Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dread angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from on high, Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie; You have conquered in the fight, You have brought us life and light. Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; You have opened paradise, And in you your saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, This alone can sin destroy; From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free, Newborn souls in you to be. Father, who the crown shall give, Savior, by whose death we live, Spirit, guide through all our days: Three in One, your name we praise.
