Christian Hymns ‎#31

31. Seeking the Lost

1 Seeking the lost, yes, kindly entreating,
Wanderers on the mountain astray;
“Come unto me,” His message repeating,
Words of the Master speaking today.

Chorus:
Going afar upon the mountain
Bringing the wand'rer back again,
Into the fold of my Redeemer,
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain.

2 Seeking the lost, and pointing to Jesus,
Souls that are weak and hearts that are sore;
Leading them forth in ways of salvation,
Showing the path to life evermore. [Chorus]

3 Thus would I go on missions of mercy,
Following Christ from day unto day;
Cheering the faint, and raising the fallen;
Pointing the lost to Jesus, the Way. [Chorus]
