Author: Edward Henry Joy (1871-1949) Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: There was a Saviour came seeking his sheep Lyrics: 1 There was a Saviour came seeking his sheep,
He is mine!
Fording the torrent so rushing and deep,
He is mine!
I was the sheep that had wandered away,
He is mine!
Me on his shoulder he gently did lay,
He is mine!
Refrain:
He is mine! He is mine!
Loving me, seeking me,
Finding me, keeping me,
He is mine!
2 Steep was the mountain and dark was the night,
He is mine!
He came a-seeking, he pitied my plight,
He is mine!
I could not hope for a happy return,
He is mine!
But over me his kind Spirit did yearn,
He is mine!
3 Great was the gladness when he brought me home,
He is mine!
Never a murmur and never a frown,
He is mine!
Showered upon me his pardoning love,
He is mine!
Told my homecoming to Heaven above,
He is mine!
4 Say, do you wonder why always I sing,
He is mine?
Call him my Saviour, my glorious King,
He is mine?
Would you not like to be able to say
He is mine?
O he is waiting to be this today,
Yours and mine!
