Author: A. F. I. Hymnal: The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 #71 (1905) First Line: Some mother’s child, out in the wild Refrain First Line: Some mother’s child, out in the wild Lyrics: 1 Some mother’s child, out in the wild,
Far from the dear Shepherd’s fold;
Bruised by the storm, sad and forlorn,
Lost in the darkness and cold.
Refrain:
Some mother’s child, out in the wild,
Strayed from the fold away;
Loved ones are there, pleading in pray’r,
Praying for you all day.
2 Some mother’s child, head-strong and wild,
Snared by the demon of drink;
Hell is your doom, dense is the gloom
Oh, sinner, stop now and think. [Refrain]
3 Some mother’s child, lost and beguiled,
Jesus is passing this way—
Seeking the lost, great tho’ the cost,
Turning their night into day. [Refrain]
4 Some mother’s child, looked up and smiled,
When the Samaritan came;
Great tho’ the need, kind was the deed,
Done in the Master’s dear name. [Refrain]
5 Some mother’s child, saved from the wild,
Sitting with Christ on His throne;
Ever to be, happy and free,
With the redeemed ones at home.
Some mother’s child, saved from the wild,
Walking the streets of gold;
Ever to be, happy and free,
Safe in the heav’nly fold. Scripture: Luke 19:10 Languages: English Tune Title: [Some mother’s child, out in the wild]
