1. In tenderness He sought me,
    Weary and sick with sin,
    And on His shoulders brought me
    Back to His fold again,
    While angels in His presence sang
    Until the courts of heaven rang.

            CHORUS

    Oh, the love that sought me!
    Oh, the blood that bought me!
    Oh! the grace that brought me to the fold,
    Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold.

2. He washed the bleeding sin wounds,
    And poured in oil and wine;
    He whispered to assure me,
    “I found thee, thou art Mine”;
    I never heard a sweeter voice,
    It made my aching heart rejoice!
    
3. He pointed to the nail prints,
    For me His blood was shed;
    A mocking crown so thorny
    Was placed upon His head;
    I wondered what He saw in me
    To suffer such deep agony.

4.  I’m sitting in His presence,
    The sunshine of His face,
    While with adoring wonder
    His blessing I retrace,
    It seems as if eternal days
    Are far too short to sound His praise.

5. So while the hours are passing
    All now is perfect rest;
    I’m waiting for the morning,
    The brightest and the best;
    When He will call us to His side
    To be with Him, His spotless Bride.
