Jesus Procura a Ovelha
Eis Jesus à procurar, a ovelha que a vagar
Desgarrou-se do aprisco do Senhor
Pelos montes a sofrer, faça Sol ou a chover
Cristo busca Sua ovelha, com amor
Com amor, o Pastor
Eis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
Possa hoje, o pecador
Escutar a voz do amor
De Jesus, que procura pra salvar
Com Seus pés o bom Pastor, já feridos, que horror
De descer nos tenebrosos pedregais
E cansado de andar, mais, ainda a clamar
Ó ovelhas minhas, onde vós estais?
Com amor, o Pastor
Eis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
Possa hoje, o pecador
Escutar a voz do amor
De Jesus, que procura pra salvar
Se escuta o gemer, da ovelha, que prazer
Enche logo o coração do bom Pastor!
E correndo sem parar, até a ovelha abraçar
E trazê-la, ao Seu ombro, com amor
Com amor, o Pastor
Eis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
Possa hoje, o pecador
Escutar a voz do amor
De Jesus, que procura pra salvar
Já em casa, o Pastor, Oh! Jubila com dulçor
Pela ovelha desgarrada que achou
E assim, também Jesus, com os anjos lá na luz
Se alegra pelas almas que salvou!
Com amor, o Pastor
Eis que chama Sua ovelha, sem cessar
Possa hoje, o pecador
Escutar a voz do amor
De Jesus, que procura pra salvar
Jesus Seeks the Sheep
Here is Jesus seeking, the sheep that wanders
Torn from the Lord's fold
Through the mountains suffering, whether it's sunny or raining
Christ seeks His sheep, with love
With love, the Shepherd
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasing
May today, the sinner
Listen to the voice of love
From Jesus, who seeks to save
With His feet the good Shepherd, already wounded, what horror
Descending into the dark rocky paths
And tired of walking, still calling out
My sheep, where are you?
With love, the Shepherd
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasing
May today, the sinner
Listen to the voice of love
From Jesus, who seeks to save
If He hears the sheep's moan, what joy
Fills the heart of the good Shepherd!
And running without stopping, to embrace the sheep
And bring it to His shoulder, with love
With love, the Shepherd
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasing
May today, the sinner
Listen to the voice of love
From Jesus, who seeks to save
Back at home, the Shepherd, Oh! Rejoices sweetly
For the lost sheep He found
And so, Jesus too, with the angels in the light
Rejoices for the souls He saved!
With love, the Shepherd
Here He calls His sheep, without ceasing
May today, the sinner
Listen to the voice of love
From Jesus, who seeks to save
