Tekst
1 In tenderness He sought me,
Weary and sick with sin;
And on His shoulders brought me
Back to His fold again.
While angels in His presence sang
Until the courts of heaven rang.
chorus:
Oh, the love that sought me!
Oh, the blood that bought me!
Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold!
Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold!
2 He found me bruised and dying,
And poured in oil and wine;
He whispered to assure me,
“I’ve found thee — thou art Mine!”
I never heard a sweeter voice,
It made my aching heart rejoice!
chorus
3 He pointed to the nail prints,
For me His blood was shed;
A mocking crown so thorny
Was placed upon His head.
I wondered what He saw in me,
To suffer such deep agony.
chorus
4 I’m sitting in His presence,
The sunshine of His face,
While with adoring wonder
His blessings I retrace.
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sound His praise.
chorus
5 So while the hours are passing,
All now is perfect rest;
I’m waiting for the morning,
The brightest and the best,
When He will call us to His side,
To be with Him, His spotless bride.
chorus
