Seeking for Me

Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance First Line: Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came, Born in a manger to sorrow and shame; O, it was wonderful, blest be His name! Seeking for me, for me. Seeking for me, seeking for me, Seeking for me, seeking for me; O, it was wonderful, blest be His name!

Dying for me, dying for me, Dying for me, dying for me; O, it was wonderful, how could it be? Dying for me, for me. 3 Jesus, my Saviour, the same as of old, While I was wand'ring afar from the fold, Gently and long did He plead with my soul, Calling for me, for me. Calling for me, calling for me, Calling for me, calling for me; Gently and long did He plead with my soul, Calling for me, for me. 4 Jesus, my Saviour, shall come from on high, Sweet is the promise as weary years fly; O, I shall see Him descending the sky, Coming for me, for me. Coming for me, coming for me, Coming for me, coming for me. O, I shall see Him descending the sky, Coming for me, for me. Used With Tune: [Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethlehem came]

On Trifling Cares

Author: P. Doddridge Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: Why do we waste on trifling cares Lyrics: 1 Why do we waste on trifling cares That life which God's compassion spares, While in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot? 2 Shall God invite us from above? Shall Jesus urge his dying love? Shall troubled conscience give us pain? And all these pleas unite in vain? 3 Not so our eyes will always view Those objects which we now pursue; Not so will heav'n and hell appear, When death's decisive hour is near. 4 Almighty God, thy grace impart; Fix deep conviction on each heart; Nor let us waste on trifling cares That life in which thy compassion spares.
