Jesus Is Looking for You

Author: Mrs. C. H. Morris Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Out on the cold barren mountains of sin Refrain First Line: Looking, looking, with heart that is constant and true Lyrics: 1 Out on the cold barren mountains of sin Jesus is looking, is looking for you; Striving your heart and affections to win, Jesus is looking for you. Looking, looking, With heart that is constant and true; He came from his throne to claim you his own, And now is looking for you. 2 For you so freely he suffered and died, Jesus is pleading, is pleading for you; Points to his hands and his spear-wounded side, Jesus is pleading for you. Pleading, pleading, With heart that is constant and true; He came from his throne to claim you his own, And now is pleading for you. 3 Over and over with patience untold, Jesus is calling, is calling for you; Loving to gather you safe in his fold, Jesus is calling for you. Calling, calling, With heart that is constant and true; He came from his throne to claim you his own, And now is calling for you. 4 Thro’ the night watches and all the day long, Jesus is waiting, is waiting for you; Never was love so enduring and strong, Jesus is waiting for you. Waiting, waiting, With heart that is constant and true; He came from his throne to claim you his own, And now is waiting for you. 5 Gone to prepare you a robe and a crown, Jesus is coming, is coming for you; Safely to gather his loved and his own, Jesus is coming for you. Coming, coming, With heart that is constant and true; He came from his throne to claim you his own, And now is coming for you. Used With Tune: [Out on the cold barren mountains of sin]

She is said to have written 1000 texts and many tunes including "Sweeter as the years go by." Mary Louise VanDyke
