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