Jesus Procura a Ovelha

Jesus Seeks the Sheep

Jesus Procura a Ovelha

Here is Jesus seeking, the sheep that wandersEis Jesus à procurar, a ovelha que a vagar
Torn from the Lord's foldDesgarrou-se do aprisco do Senhor
Through the mountains suffering, whether it's sunny or rainingPelos montes a sofrer, faça Sol ou a chover
Christ seeks His sheep, with loveCristo busca Sua ovelha, com amor

With love, the ShepherdCom amor, o Pastor
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasingEis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
May today, the sinnerPossa hoje, o pecador
Listen to the voice of loveEscutar a voz do amor
From Jesus, who seeks to saveDe Jesus, que procura pra salvar

With His feet the good Shepherd, already wounded, what horrorCom Seus pés o bom Pastor, já feridos, que horror
Descending into the dark rocky pathsDe descer nos tenebrosos pedregais
And tired of walking, still calling outE cansado de andar, mais, ainda a clamar
My sheep, where are you?Ó ovelhas minhas, onde vós estais?

With love, the ShepherdCom amor, o Pastor
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasingEis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
May today, the sinnerPossa hoje, o pecador
Listen to the voice of loveEscutar a voz do amor
From Jesus, who seeks to saveDe Jesus, que procura pra salvar

If He hears the sheep's moan, what joySe escuta o gemer, da ovelha, que prazer
Fills the heart of the good Shepherd!Enche logo o coração do bom Pastor!
And running without stopping, to embrace the sheepE correndo sem parar, até a ovelha abraçar
And bring it to His shoulder, with loveE trazê-la, ao Seu ombro, com amor

With love, the ShepherdCom amor, o Pastor
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasingEis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
May today, the sinnerPossa hoje, o pecador
Listen to the voice of loveEscutar a voz do amor
From Jesus, who seeks to saveDe Jesus, que procura pra salvar

Back at home, the Shepherd, Oh! Rejoices sweetlyJá em casa, o Pastor, Oh! Jubila com dulçor
For the lost sheep He foundPela ovelha desgarrada que achou
And so, Jesus too, with the angels in the lightE assim, também Jesus, com os anjos lá na luz
Rejoices for the souls He saved!Se alegra pelas almas que salvou!

With love, the ShepherdCom amor, o Pastor
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasingEis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
May today, the sinnerPossa hoje, o pecador
Listen to the voice of loveEscutar a voz do amor
From Jesus, who seeks to saveDe Jesus, que procura pra salvar
