Buscou-me Com Ternura
Buscou -me com ternura
Jesus, o bom pastor
Achou-me na miséria
Salvou-me com amor
No céu cantaram de alegria
Os anjos, sim, em harmonia
Oh! Que amor glorioso!
Preço tão grandioso
Que Jesus por mim na cruz pagou
Inaudita graça me mostrou!
Ferido, abandonado
Jesus me socorreu
E segredou-me: Achei-te
De agora em diante és meu
Tão meiga voz jamais ouvi
Prazer maior jamais senti
Jesus mostrou-me as chagas
Que em meu lugar sofreu
Coroa, mas de espinhos
A cruz que padeceu
Que poderia em mim achar
Pra tais afrontas suportar?
Minha alma embevecida
Seu rosto a contemplar
Recorda as muitas bênçãos
Do seu amor sem par
Louvor e glória e adoração
Tributa-lhe meu coração!
Enquanto as horas passam
Eu tenho gozo e paz
E aguardo meu bom mestre
Que tão feliz me faz!
Jesus, a mim virá buscar
E então pra sempre irei gozar!
Sought Me Tenderly
He sought me with tenderness
Jesus, the good shepherd
He found me in misery
Saved me with love
In heaven they sang with joy
The angels, yes, in harmony
Oh! What glorious love!
Such a great price
That Jesus paid for me on the cross
He showed me unheard-of grace!
Wounded, abandoned
Jesus helped me
And he whispered to me: I found you
From now on you are mine
I have never heard such a sweet voice
I have never felt greater pleasure
Jesus showed me the wounds
Who suffered in my place
Crown, but of thorns
The cross he suffered
That could be found in me
To endure such insults?
My soul is enraptured
Your face to contemplate
Remember the many blessings
Of your unparalleled love
Praise and glory and worship
I pay tribute to him my heart!
As the hours pass
I have joy and peace
And I await my good master
That makes me so happy!
Jesus, come and get me
And then I will enjoy forever!
