Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #382 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Like sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God,
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
2 How dreadful was the hour,
When God our wanderings laid,
And did at once his vengeance pour
Upon the Shepherd's head!
3 How glorious was the grace,
When Christ sustained the stroke!
His life and blood the Shepherd pays,
A ransom for the flock.
4 But God shall raise his head
O'er all the sons of men,
And make him see a numerous seed,
To recompense his pain. Tune Title: SHAWMUT
Like sheep we went astray
