The Ninety and Nine

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: Christ in Song #61 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Solos First Line: There were ninety and nine that safely lay Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2 "Lord, thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "One of mine Has wander'd away from me, And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransom'd ever knew How deep were the waters cross'd; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord pass'd thro' Ere He found His sheep that was lost. Out in the desert He heard its cry, Sick and helpless, and ready to die. Sick and helpless, and ready to die. 4 "Lord, whence are these blood drops all the way That mark out the mountains' track?" They were shed for one who has gone astray, Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." "Lord, why are thy hands so rent and torn?" They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn." "They are pierc'd to-night by many a thorn." 5 But all through the mountains, thunder riven, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep!" And the angels sang around the throne, "Rejoice for the Lord brings back His own!" Languages: English Tune Title: [There were ninety and nine that safely lay]

[Chorus] 3 To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown, Through faith we shall conquer, Tho' often cast down; He who is our Saviour, Our strength will renew. Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Yield not to temptation]

On the Cross

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #82 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Male Voices First Line: Behold, behold the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you He shed His precious blood, On the cross, on the cross; O hear His agonizing cry, "Eloi, lama, sabachthani," Draw near, and see your Saviour die, On the cross, on the cross. 2 Behold His arms extended wide, On the cross, on the cross; Behold His bleeding hands and side, On the cross, on the cross; The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night. While Jesus doth for sinners fight, On the cross, on the cross. 3 And now the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vict'ry won, On the cross, on the cross; "'Tis finished," now the Saviour cries; To heav'n He turns His languid eyes; Then bows His sacred head, and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where e'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross; And this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus shed His blood for me, On the cross, on the cross.

A Sinner Like Me

Hymnal: Christ in Song #102 (1908) Topics: Special Selections Solos First Line: I was once far away from the Saviour Lyrics: 1 I was once far away from the Saviour, And as vile as a sinner could be; I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Could save a poor sinner like me. 2 I wandered on in the darkness, Not a ray of light could I see, And the tho't filled my heart with sadness, There's no help for a sinner like me. 3 And then in that dark, lonely hour, A voice sweetly whispered to me, Saying Christ, the Redeemer, has power To save a poor sinner like me. 4 I listened, and lo! 'twas the Savior Who was speaking so kindly to me; I cried, I'm the chief of sinners, Oh, save a poor sinner like me. 5 I then fully trusted in Jesus, And, oh, what a joy came to me! My heart was filled with his praises, For saving a sinner like me. 6 No longer in darkness I'm walking, For the light is now shining on me, And now unto others I'm telling How he saved a poor sinner like me. 7 And when life's journey is over, And I the dear Saviour shall see, I'll praise him for ever and ever, For saving a sinner like me.
