A Ovelha Perdida
Noventa e nove ovelhas vão
Seguras ao curral
Mas uma delas se afastou
Do aprisco pastoral
A errar nos montes de terror
Distante do fiel pastor
Distante do fiel pastor
Com a grei submissa, ó bom Pastor
Não te contentarás?
A errante é minha, replicou
Pertence-me a fugaz
Vou ao deserto procurar
A ovelha que ouço em dor gritar
A ovelha que ouço em dor gritar
Nenhum remido imaginou
Quão negra escuridão
Quão fundas águas que passou
Trazendo-a à salvação
E quando foi pra socorrer
A errante estava a perecer
A errante estava a perecer
Por toda a estrada donde vem
Que sangue enxergo ali?
Busquei a ovelha com amor
O sangue meu verti
Ferida vejo a tua mão
A angústia encheu-me o coração
A angustia encheu-me o coração
Vêm da montanha aclamações!
É a voz do bom Pastor!
Ressoa em notas triunfais
O salmo vencedor!
E os anjos cantam lá nos céus
A errante já voltou a Deus
A errante já voltou a Deus
The Lost Sheep
Ninety-nine sheep are on their way
Safe to the pen
But one of them strayed away
From the pastoral den
Wandering in the mountains of fear
Far from the faithful shepherd
Far from the faithful shepherd
With the submissive flock, oh good Shepherd
Won't you be satisfied?
The lost one is mine, he replied
She belongs to my side
I’ll go to the desert to find
The sheep I hear crying in pain
The sheep I hear crying in pain
No redeemed soul could have guessed
How dark the night could be
How deep the waters she crossed
Bringing her to safety
And when he went to rescue
The lost one was perishing
The lost one was perishing
All along the road where she came
What blood do I see there?
I searched for the sheep with love
My blood I did share
I see your hand is wounded
Anguish filled up my heart
Anguish filled up my heart
From the mountain come the cries!
It's the voice of the good Shepherd!
Ringing in triumphant notes
The victorious psalm!
And the angels sing up in the skies
The lost one has returned to God
The lost one has returned to God
