373. Seeking the Lost

G                                C
Seeking the lost, yes, kindly en-treating

C         G                 D
Wanderers on the mountain a-stray;

D          D7       G
"Come unto Me," His message repeating,

C            G      D7          G
Words of the Master speaking to-day.

G       C
Going a-far (going afar)

C        G
Upon the mountain (upon the mountain)

G            D7              G
Bringing the wanderer back a-gain, back again,

G        C
Into the fold (into the fold)

C     G
Of my Redeemer (of my Redeemer)

G         D7               G          C       G
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain, for sinners slain.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Seeking the lost—yes, kindly entreating 
Wanders on the mountain astray;
“Come unto Me,” His message repeating, 
Words of the Master speaking today.

[Refrain]
Going afar upon the mountain,
Bringing the wand’rer back again,
Into the fold of my Redeemer,
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
Thus I would 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.
