Seeking the Lost

Hymn lyrics and Music by William A. Ogden

Verse 1

• Seeking the lost, yes, kindly entreating
• Wanderers on the mountain astray;
• “Come unto Me,” His message repeating,
• Words of the Master speaking today.

Chorus

• Going afar (going afar)
• Upon the mountain (upon the mountain)
• Bringing the wan(bringing the wan)d’rer back again, back again,
• Into the fold (into the fold)
• Of my Redeemer (of my Redeemer)
• Jesus the Lamb (Jesus the Lamb) for sinners slain, 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.

Chorus

Verse 3

• Thus would I 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.

Chorus
