373. Seeking the Lost

Eb                               Ab
Seeking the lost, yes, kindly en-treating

Ab        Eb                Bb
Wanderers on the mountain a-stray;

Bb         Bb7      Eb
"Come unto Me," His message repeating,

Ab           Eb     Bb7         Eb
Words of the Master speaking to-day.

Eb      Ab
Going a-far (going afar)

Ab       Eb
Upon the mountain (upon the mountain)

Eb           Bb7             Eb
Bringing the wanderer back a-gain, back again,

Eb       Ab
Into the fold (into the fold)

Ab    Eb
Of my Redeemer (of my Redeemer)

Eb        Bb7              Eb         Ab      Eb
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.
