SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER u.
THE LOST SHEEP.

There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter Of the fold;
And 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 Shepherds care.
Lord, Thou hast here the ninety and nine;
Are they not enough for Thee r.
But the Shepherd made answer, This OF NINE
Has wandered away from Mel
And although the roads be rough and steep,
l go to the desert to find My sheep"
And none of the ransomed ever knew
Howdeep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark the night the Lord passed through
Ere He found His sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry.
Sick, and helpless, and ready to die.
Lord, whence are those blooddrops all the way,
That mark out the mountains track r
"They were shed for one who had gore astray
Ere tho Shepherd could bring him back =,
Lord, whence are thy hands So rent and torn Z,
They were pierced tonight by many a thorn"
And all through the mountains, thunder-rivcn,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose cry to the gates OF heaven,
Rejoice, have found My sheep"
And the angels echoed around the throne, -
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own !!
