71. Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came

1 Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came,
Born in a manger to sorrow and shame;
Oh, it was wonderful blest be His name!
Seeking for me, for me!

Refrain:
Seeking for me! For me!
Seeking for me! For me!
Seeking for me! For me!
Oh, it was wonderful blest be His name!
Seeking for me, for me!

2 Jesus, my Saviour, on Calvary's tree,
Paid the great debt, and my soul He set free;
Oh, it was wonderful how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!

Refrain:
Dying for me! For me!
Dying for me! For me!
Dying for me! For me!
Oh, it was wonderful how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!

3 Jesus, my Saviour, the same as of old,
While I was wand'ring afar from the fold,
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me!

Refrain:
Calling for me! For me!
Calling for me! For me!
Calling for me! For me!
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me!

4 Jesus, my Saviour, shall come from on high
Sweet is the promise as weary years fly;
Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky,
Coming for me, for me!

Refrain:
Coming for me! For me!
Coming for me! For me!
Coming for me! For me!
Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky,
Coming for me, for me!
