- 1Seeking the lost, yes, kindly entreating,Wanderers on the mountain astray;“Come unto Me,” His message repeating,Words of the Master speaking today.Going afar(Going afar) upon the mountain,(upon the mountain,)Bringing the wand’rer(Bringing the wand’rer) back again.(back again, back again,)
- 2Into the fold(Into the fold) of my Redeemer,(of my Redeemer,)Jesus the Lamb(Jesus the Lamb) for sinners slain.(for sinners slain, for sinners slain.)Going afar(Going afar) upon the mountain,(upon the mountain,)Bringing the wand’rer(Bringing the wand’rer) back again.(back again, back again,)
- 3Seeking 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.Going afar(Going afar) upon the mountain,(upon the mountain,)Bringing the wand’rer(Bringing the wand’rer) back again.(back again, back again,)
- 4Thus 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.Going afar(Going afar) upon the mountain,(upon the mountain,)Bringing the wand’rer(Bringing the wand’rer) back again.(back again, back again,)
