Buscou-me Com Ternura

Sought Me Tenderly

Buscou-me Com Ternura

He sought me with tendernessBuscou -me com ternura
Jesus, the good shepherdJesus, o bom pastor
He found me in miseryAchou-me na miséria
Saved me with loveSalvou-me com amor
In heaven they sang with joyNo céu cantaram de alegria
The angels, yes, in harmonyOs anjos, sim, em harmonia

Oh! What glorious love!Oh! Que amor glorioso!
Such a great pricePreço tão grandioso
That Jesus paid for me on the crossQue Jesus por mim na cruz pagou
He showed me unheard-of grace!Inaudita graça me mostrou!

Wounded, abandonedFerido, abandonado
Jesus helped meJesus me socorreu
And he whispered to me: I found youE segredou-me: Achei-te
From now on you are mineDe agora em diante és meu
I have never heard such a sweet voiceTão meiga voz jamais ouvi
I have never felt greater pleasurePrazer maior jamais senti

Jesus showed me the woundsJesus mostrou-me as chagas
Who suffered in my placeQue em meu lugar sofreu
Crown, but of thornsCoroa, mas de espinhos
The cross he sufferedA cruz que padeceu
That could be found in meQue poderia em mim achar
To endure such insults?Pra tais afrontas suportar?

My soul is enrapturedMinha alma embevecida
Your face to contemplateSeu rosto a contemplar
Remember the many blessingsRecorda as muitas bênçãos
Of your unparalleled loveDo seu amor sem par
Praise and glory and worshipLouvor e glória e adoração
I pay tribute to him my heart!Tributa-lhe meu coração!

As the hours passEnquanto as horas passam
I have joy and peaceEu tenho gozo e paz
And I await my good masterE aguardo meu bom mestre
That makes me so happy!Que tão feliz me faz!
Jesus, come and get meJesus, a mim virá buscar
And then I will enjoy forever!E então pra sempre irei gozar!
