Seeking The Lost

by J. A. Lee

Seeking the lost, He is seeking today,
Wanting those back who have wandered away;
Wandering ones who are out in the cold,
When will you come to the dear shepherd's fold?

Dying for you, yes, dying for me,
See, yes, behold Him just now on the tree!
Filled with an anguish no tongue can e'er tell,
All this to save a lost world from dark hell.

Praying, my brother, yes praying for you,
Always He's seeking so earnest and true,
Pleading, His spirit is pleading just now,
Come to the cross, yes, come humbly and bow.

Chorus

Seeking the lost He is seeking today,
Seeking His sheep that have gone astray;
Up in His arms, and safe from the cold,
He tenderly bears them back to the fold.
