The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 675 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:3-7 Lyrics: 1 The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he's leading,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feeding.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me;
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me,
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight;
Your saving grace bestowing;
And O what transport of delight
From your pure chalice flowing!
6 And so through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within your house forever.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Author: Robert Robinson, 1735-1790 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,200 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:1-7 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
praise his name--I'm fixed upon it--
name of God's redeeming love.
2 Here I raise to thee an altar,
hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand'ring from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
bought me with his precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee;
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above. Used With Tune: NETTLETON
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

There were ninety and nine that safely lay
The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:3-4 First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold,
Has lost a straying sheep,
Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves,
And climbs the mountain's steep.
2 But O the joy! the transport sweet!
When he the wand'rer finds;
Up in his arms he takes his charge,
And to his shoulder binds.
3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys,
And make his bliss complete:
The neighbours hear the news, and all
The joyful shepherd greet.
4 Yet how much greater is the joy
When but one sinner turns;
When the poor wretch with broken heart,
His sins and errors mourns.
5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below,
In songs their tongues employ;
Beyond the skies, the tidings go,
And Heaven is fill'd with joy.
6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears
The conscious sinner weep;
Jesus receives him in his arms,
And owns him for his sheep.
7 Nor angels can their joys contain,
But kindle with new fire:
"A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing,
And strike the sounding lyre. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration; Conversion of a sinner; Parable of the Lost sheep found

Jesus Sinners Doth Receive
Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:2 Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive:"
word of surest consolation;
word all sorrow to relieve,
word of pardon, peace, salvation!
Naught like this can comfort give:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
2 On God's grace we have no claim,
yet to us his pledge is given;
he hath sworn by his own name,
open are the gates of heaven.
Take to heart this word and live:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
3 When a helpless lamb doth stray,
after it, the Shepherd, pressing
thro' each dark and dang'rous way,
brings it back, his own possessing.
Jesus seeks thee, O believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
4 Oh, how blest it is to know:
were as scarlet my transgression,
it shall be as white as snow
by thy blood and bitter passion;
for these words I now believe:
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
5 Now my conscience is at peace,
from the Law I stand acquitted;
Christ hath purchased my release
and my every sin remitted.
Naught remains my soul to grieve -
"Jesus sinners doth receive."
