He is seeking for the lost,
For the lone and tempest-tossed:
Hear the tender Shepherd calling day by day;
Over mountain, hill, and plain,
In the sunshine and the rain,
He is seeking for the wand’rers far away.
Far away, far away,
He is seeking for the wand’rers gone astray;
Over mountain hill, and plain,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Hear the tender Shepherd calling day by day.
See His feet, all bleeding, torn,
Pierced with many a cruel thorn,
While He struggles through
the valleys chill and lone;
But He presses eager on,
All the rocks and caves among,
Ever seeking to reclaim and save His own.
Far away, far away,
He is seeking for the wand’rers gone astray;
Over mountain hill, and plain,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Hear the tender Shepherd calling day by day.
Oh, the night is closing round,
Have the lost ones all been found?
Are they coming from
the mountains dark and cold?
Let us heed the Shepherd’s voice,
Let us follow and rejoice,
While He leads us, gently leads us to the fold.
Far away, far away,
He is seeking for the wand’rers gone astray;
Over mountain hill, and plain,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Hear the tender Shepherd calling day by day.
