| There were a hundred sheep in fields of green
|
| And their shepherd loved them so
|
| But one got lost inside a deep ravine
|
| And didn’t know how to get home
|
| The shepherd sought the one who strayed
|
| And wouldn’t rest 'til he could say:
|
| «What once was lost is found
|
| Raise up a joyful sound
|
| Come now and celebrate
|
| This one is home and safe!
|
| What once was lost is found
|
| It’s time to jump around
|
| Let happiness abound
|
| For the lost is found!»
|
| There were ten precious coins a lady kept
|
| Until one day there were nine
|
| She ran around the house and carefully swept
|
| To seek the one she couldn’t find
|
| And when at last her coin appeared
|
| She wanted everyone to hear:
|
| «What once was lost is found
|
| Raise up a joyful sound
|
| Come now and celebrate
|
| This one is home and safe!
|
| What once was lost is found
|
| It’s time to jump around
|
| Let happiness abound
|
| For the lost is found!»
|
| Oh-ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ohh-ooh-oooh
|
| Yes, the lost is found
|
| Oh-ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ohh-ooh-oooh
|
| Yes, the lost is found!
|
| There was a boy who left his father’s home
|
| But found himself with pigs and mud
|
| He came back sure that he had been disowned
|
| Though he was sad for what he’d done
|
| But as in shame he hung his head
|
| His father ran to him and said:
|
| «What once was lost is found
|
| Raise up a joyful sound
|
| Come now and celebrate
|
| This one is home and safe!
|
| What once was lost is found
|
| It’s time to jump around
|
| Let happiness abound
|
| For the lost is found!»
|
| Every day it’s happening
|
| The lost are found by their loving King and
|
| As they turn from all their sin
|
| Listen, you can hear the angels sing!:
|
| «What once was lost is found
|
| Raise up a joyful sound
|
| Come now and celebrate
|
| This one is home and safe!
|
| What once was lost is found
|
| It’s time to jump around
|
| Let happiness abound
|
| For the lost is found!»
|
| Oh-ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ohh-ooh-oooh
|
| Yes, the lost is found
|
| Oh-ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ohh-ooh-oooh
|
| Yes, the lost is found! |
