“Precious blood of Christ" - 1Pet.1:9



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 sang.

Chorus:  Oh, the love that sought me! 

               Oh the blood that bought me! 

               Oh the grace that brought me to 

               the fold Wandrous grace that 

               brought me to the fold.


2.  He found me bruised and dying, 

     And pour’d in oil and wine

     He whisper’d to assure me 

     I’ve found thee thou are mine! 

     I never heard a sweeter voice!

     It made my aching heart.

Chorus:  Oh, the love...


3.  I’m sitting in his presence 

     The sunshine of his face,

     While with adoring wonder 

     His blessings l retrace;

     It seems as if eternal days

     Are fare too short to sound His praise. 

Chorus:  Oh, the love...


4.  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.

Chorus:  Oh, the love that sought me! 

               Oh the blood that bought me! 

               Oh the grace that brought me to 

               the fold Wandrous grace that 

               brought me to the fold.  Amen
