One is Missing

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Jubilate #33 (1917) First Line: Safe in the fold we've gathered the sheep Refrain First Line: Someone is missing Lyrics: 1 Safe in the fold we’ve gathered the sheep, Safe from the storms on the mountain steep; “But,” said the Shepherd, as He counted them o’er, “Someone is missing, there should be one more.” Refrain: Someone is missing, Someone is missing, Out on the mountains dark and cold, Who will go find him? With love’s bands bind him? Who’ll bring him back to the shelter of the fold? 2 “Will no one go to gather it in My helpless one in the throes of sin? Far from the shelter of the walls of the fold, Out on the mountains so bleak and so cold.” 3 Weary and worn, His heart knew no rest, ‘Til He might hold it upon His breast; So in the darkness went the Shepherd alone, But ere the morning He brought back His own. [Refrain] 4 O can it be that you are the one Whom He is seeking alone, alone? Pray He may find you ere the wild storms may sweep Out in the wild ways where perish lost sheep. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Safe in the fold we've gathered the sheep]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "One is Missing" in Jubilate Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
