[[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.
