Seeking His Own

Author: Ida M. Budd Hymnal: Songs of Faith and Hope Number 2 #27 (1909) First Line: Over the mountain rugged and cheerless Refrain First Line: Seeking His own, seeking His own Lyrics: 1 Over the mountain rugged and cheerless, Out in the desert barren and lone; Thro’ the wild mazes tangled and pathless Goeth the Shepherd, seeking His own. Refrain: Seeking His own, seeking His own, Goeth the Shepherd, seeking His own; Tenderly calling, earnestly pleading, Christ the good Shepherd, is seeking His own. 2 Loving them still wherever they wander; Longing to save whom win has o’erthrown, Patiently searching, kindly entreating, Still is the Shepherd, seeking His own. [Refrain] 3 Listen, O wand’rer, night is approaching! Soon will your day to darkness have grown; Answer Him gladly “Thee will I follow; Lead me, O Shepherd, I am thine own.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [Over the mountain rugged and cheerless]
