Seeking the Lost
SEEKING THE LOST
Author: William A. Ogden, 1841-1897
Musician: William A. Ogden, 1841-1897

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 upon the mountain,
Bringing the wand'rer back again,
Going afar upon the mountain,
Bringing the wand'rer back again,

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.

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.
