O bom pastor buscou-me já longe do redil

The good shepherd sought me already far from the fold

E com ternura achou-me caído, triste, vil!

And with tenderness, found me fallen, sad, vile!

As chagas com amor pensou

E ao lar nos braços me levou

And in His arms, He carried me home

Sim, Jesus amou-me

Yes, Jesus loved me

Com amor buscou-me

With love, He sought me

Ele mesmo restaurou-me a Deus

Por seu Sangue restaurou-me a Deus

Seguiu-me bem distante do seu lugar no céu

He followed me far from His place in heaven

E disse em voz amante

And said in a loving voice

Achei-te, tú és meu!

I found you, you are mine!

Jamais senti tão grande amor

Como este do meu bom pastor

Pois Ele foi ferido, a fim de me salvar

E com o seu rebanho vou

Prossigo alegre, agora
