| Lost from the Savior's fold | B |
| Upon the lonely mountain They shiver with the cold | B |

| Where poison vines do creep | D |
| And over rocky ledges | E |
| Still roam the poor lost sheep | D |
| - | |
| O come let us go and find them | F |
| In the paths of death they roam | G |
| At the close of the day 'twill be sweet to say | H |
| I have brought some lost one home | G |
| - | |
| O who will go to find them | F |
| Who for the Savior's sake | I |
| Will search with tireless patience | J |
| Through brier and through brake | I |

| Will seek as for treasure | K |
| The sheep that go astray | H |

| Say will you seek to find them | F |
| From pleasant bow'rs of ease | L |
| Will you go forth determined | M |
| To find the least of these | L |

| And still He holds wide open | N |
| The door into His fold | B |

| How sweet 'twound be at evening | A |
| If you and I could say | H |
| Good Shepherd we've been seeking | A |
| The sheep that went astray | H |
| Heartsore and faint with hunger | K |
| We heard them making moan | O |
| And lo we come at nightfall | P |
| And bear them safely home | G |
| - | |
| O come let us go and find them | F |
| In the paths of death they roam | G |
| At the close of the day 'twill be sweet to say | H |
| I have brought some lost one home | G |
