THE TWO SEEKERS.
See, the lost one seeks the Shepherd,
And the Shepherd seeks the lost.
Blessèd seeking, blessèd finding,
After such a toil and cost!
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
And the Shepherd seeks the lost.
Blessèd seeking, blessèd finding,
After such a toil and cost!
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
Each the other now is seeking;
Must they, shall they, can they miss?
Shall the Father fail to meet him?
Shall the Son mistake that kiss?
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
Must they, shall they, can they miss?
Shall the Father fail to meet him?
Shall the Son mistake that kiss?
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
265
Each the other now is finding;
Such a joy and such a love,
Such a seeking, such a finding,
Never known in heaven above.
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
Such a joy and such a love,
Such a seeking, such a finding,
Never known in heaven above.
Surely 'twas not meant for me;
Such a love could never be!
