5959. Seeking to Save
1. Tenderly the Shepherd,
O’er the mountains cold,
Goes to bring the lost one
Back to the fold.
Refrain
Seeking to save, seeking to save,
Lost one, ’tis Jesus, seeking to save.
Seeking to save, seeking to save,
Lost one, ’tis Jesus, seeking to save.
2. Patiently the owner,
Seeks with earnest care,
In the dust and darkness
Her treasure rare. [Refrain]
3. Lovingly the Father
Sends the news around,
He once dead now liveth,
Once lost is found. [Refrain]
