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

He washed the bleeding sin-wounds,
And poured in oil and wine;
He whispered to assure me,
“I’ve found thee, thou art Mine:”
I never heard a sweeter voice,
It made my aching heart rejoice.

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.

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

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.

This song has been ringing in my heart for the past 3 days, and today, at the office, I started singing along on my computer. "Oh the grace that brought me to the flock, wondrous grace that brought me to the flock"
He sought me in tenderness ........ I LOVE HIM so much!

What a beautiful song and prayer.

I woke up this morning singing the Hausa version of this hymn in my heart. It holds a great memory for me. I recalled my father in his evangelistic and pastoral ministry and our devotions at home. My heart also goes back to the assurance that God's Spirit bears within whenever this hymn is sung. It is one of the great hymns and I think that the Hausa version of it speaks into my spirit more directly than the English one. Thanks for making it available on the internet. I had to go searching for this hymn and I found it. Praise God for His love and grace.

i love the Yoruba version of this wonderful song very much. Just finished singing it several times now because it is my Testimony so far for 2015. The second stanza says "Mo gbogbe mo fere ku, o tu ororo si. "Balm of Gilead" will suit all our pains in Jesus name.

Anytime I play the song, I always think of My Salvation Cleansing, pardon, forgiveness and My Redemption which is a rare opportunity which many have missed and cross to the great beyond.

Wonderful Song! Whenever I sing this song tears drop out of my eyes ,The line "I WONDER WHAT HE SAW IN ME,TO SUFFER SUCH DEEP AGONY"—really the hardest heart to melt.

I woke up this with this timeless hymn ringing in my heart. Early this year, I asked the Lord to prepare me as His bride - and read the final text of this hymn, which I can't remember where and when I first heard it read "To be with, His spotless Bride" thrills my heart. O what a timeless and precious words. More of such songs the was birthed from the fire of His throne. May the Lord prepare His bride for His coming.
Thank you so much.
