373 – Seeking the Lost

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

Refrain
Going afar (going afar)
Upon the mountain (upon the mountain)
Bringing the wanderer back again, back again,
Into the fold (into the fold)
Of my Redeemer (of my Redeemer)
Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain, for sinners slain.

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.

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.

Beautiful song, not the same words in the French Hymnal for #596 "Flots mugissants", a song I stay away from which is just tempting the enemy. Quand on combine les mots en Anglais et la musique, ça nous donne un vrai beau chant, pas les mêmes que dans le #596 de notre "Hymnes et Louanges – Flots mugissants", des expressions qui vraiment tentent notre adversaire no.1. Laissons-les pour la personne qui les a choisies. Sûrement elle n’avait pas assez de problèmes dans sa vie ou elle n’a pas bien compris quand elle demandait aux flots mugissants et en furie de l’entourer. Le Seigneur ne nous a jamais recommandé de demander des choses dures dans nos prières. Faisons-Lui confiance du choix et du timing des épreuves dont nous avons besoin des fois dans le but de nous purifier pour notre ascension vers le ciel.

My father taught this song in the primary school he was heading in the sixties. I was only a child and sang in the treble. I am adult now and I sought it out again piecing the lyrics together from memory. Glory to God for the net. I have the whole thing and even practice the demand. Clarence Ekekezie

The Son of God humbled Himself even upto death, seeking for lost my life. The men He created rejected and killed Him.But because Jesus is full of mercies,He forgave them
and said that they do not know what they are doing.Trully this is GREAT
Jesus remember me on your coming and forgive me my sins. AMEN

There is a mandate to go and seek that is lost, this song should challenge us all to do the work and fulfill this divine calling. If we have been to the valleys now we have to go beyond borders and proclaim the good News.
