he tried to find some hymn peculiarly
suited to the pastoral taste of his audi

discovered these lines in The Rock. an

adapted them to a wild, plaIHtive air,
and they soon sung themselves into
the hearts not only Of rustic HIghlam-

There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the sLelter Of the fold:

Away from tie tender shepherds care.

Are they not enough Tor Tbee?'
But the shepherd made answer: This Of Mine
Has wandered away II N Ne;
And, although the road he rough and steep

But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Ecr how dark was the night that the Lord passed
through.
Ere he found His sheep that was lost
Ont ia the dessert He heard cry
