Crowning Day No. 3 ‎#51

51. For Many, Many Years

1 Night and day for many, many years,
Jesus called me in His tender love;
And His voice seemed burdened with His tears,
As He sought me from His Home above.

Refrain:
O His love, ‘tis wilder than the sea,
Tireless as the mighty ocean wave;
O how could He love and follow me,
And how care the wanderer to save.

2 Night and day for many, many years,
Jesus sought me through the desert wild;
And His voice yet lingers in my ears,
Like a mother’s with her wayward child. [Refrain]

3 Night and day for many, many years,
I have heard that tender voice divine,
Whisp’ring through my haunting doubts and fears,
“Weary, helpless wanderer, be Mine.” [Refrain]
