I Was A Wandering Sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I did not love the fold,
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controll'd;
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love my Father's voice,
I lov'd afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child;
They follow'd me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild;
They found me nigh to death,
Famish'd, and faint, and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They sav'd the wand'ring one.
3 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I would not be controll'd;
But now I love the Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold!
I was a wayward child;
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love His home! Topics: Spiritual Songs The Call Used With Tune: [I was a wandering sheep]

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Direct unto my God Lyrics:
Direct unto my God,
With speed, my cry ascend:
Present to Him this urgent plea:—
“In mercy, Lord, attend!
“Fulfil thy gracious word,
“To bring me to thy rest;
“In Salem soon my place prepare,
“And make me ever blest!
“Down in a vale of tears
“Where dwelt my Christ I mourn,
“And in the conflict with my foes,
“My tender heart is torn:
“O heal each bleeding wound,
“With thy life-giving tree;
“In Salem, Lord, above the strife,
“A place prepare for me!”
Longing.

I see a myriad saved,
Who once were faint as I;
Now they have climbed the rocky steeps,
And reign with Christ on high.
They sing on yonder side,
From doubt and sorrow free,
The praises of the bleeding Lamb,
The song of Calvary.

Germantown, PA, 1930) arranged the tune for Babcock's text and published it in the Presbyterian church school hymnal Alleluia (1915), edited by Sheppard (Babcock and Sheppard were friends).
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Sheppard entered the family foundry business in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1875. He was organist at Zion Episcopal Church and later was an elder and music director of the Second Presbyterian Church in Baltimore. President of the Presbyterian Board of Publications, Sheppard also served on the committee that prepared the Presbyterian Hymnal of 1911.

Person Name: Desconocido Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Author (stanza 2) of "A Cristo proclamad" in Culto Cristiano In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
