Missing the lost, O Shepherd true,
Leaving Thy home in glory,
Thou camest to earth, the lost to woo;
O wonderful, wonderful story!
Seeking the scattered, O Shepherd true,
Over the desert straying;
Thou bearest a cross none ever knew,
Thy love all its sorrow outweighing.
Healing the wounded, Shepherd true,
Pouring in oil of gladness;
Restoring the souls sin overthrew,
Thou givest them comfort for sadness.
Tending the faithful, Shepherd true,
Daily Thy tables spreading,
They feed in the pastures ever new,
No want and no enemy dreading.
Chorus
O wonderful, wonderful story,
Melting the heart to tears!
O wonderful, wonderful story,
Growing richer and richer with years!
James M. Gray
