Over the mountains lonely I wandered, Jesus, my friend, came seeking for me. Refrain: Seeking for me, came seeking for me, Jesus, my friend, came seeking for me; Over the mountains lonely I wandered; Jesus, my friend, came seeking for me. 2 Weeping, I longed for grace and for pardon, Prayed from my load of sin to be free. Then, as I cried in helpless contrition, Jesus, my friend, came seeking for me. [Refrain] 3 Filled with the joy of present salvation, Washed in the blood once shed on the tree, This be my song thro’ ages eternal: Jesus, my friend, came seeking for me. [Refrain] 4 Oh, for the harp of seraph to praise Him, Oh, for the tongue of angel to sing. Glory to Jesus! I will adore Him, I am adopted, child of a king.
