Written by Gregory of Narek (950-1003), an Armenian poet, monk, and theologian.
You found me, a sinner, lost in darkness crying like the psalmist in prayer,
and because of Your willing care You were called Shepherd,
for not only did You care but You sought,
not only did You find, O worker of miracles
but with the goodness of Your love,
A love that defies description,
You rescued me, lifting me upon Your shoulder,
To set me down alongside Your heavenly army,
the heirs to Your fatherly legacy.
He [The LORD] brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. [2 Samuel 22:20]
