Lyrics
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.
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.
Chorus
Going afar (Going afar) upon the mountain, (upon the mountain,) Bringing the wand'rer back again, (Bringing the wand'rer back again, back again,) Into the fold (Into the fold) of my Redeemer, (of my Redeemer,) Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain. (Jesus the Lamb for sinners slain, for sinners slain.)
