1 JESUS my Saviour to Bethlehem came,
Born in a manger to sorrow and shame;
Oh, it was wonderful—blest be His name!
Seeking for me, for me!
Seeking for me! … for me! …
Oh, it was wonderful—blest be His name!
Seeking for me, for me!

2 Jesus my Saviour, on Calvary’s tree,
Paid the great debt, and my soul He set free;
Oh, it was wonderful—how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!
Dying for me! … for me! …
Oh, it was wonderful—how could it be?
Dying for me, for me!

3 Jesus my Saviour, the same as of old,
While I was wandering afar from the fold,
Gently and long did He plead with my soul,
Calling for me, for me!
Calling for me! … 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;
Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky,
Coming for me, for me!
Coming for me! … for me! …
Oh, I shall see Him descending the sky,
Coming for me, for me!
