Alexander's Hymns No. 3 ‎#149

149. Was it You?

1 Someone had strayed like a wand’ring sheep,
Lost on the mountains, so wild and steep;
Someone was forced as he sowed, to reap,
Was it you? Was it you?

2 Someone remembered a mother’s pray’r,
Knew that in heav’n she was free from care,
Tho’t how he promised to meet her there,
Was it you? Was it you?

3 Long had the Saviour o’er someone yearned,
Someone at last to the Saviour turned,
Thankfully took what he long has spurned,
Was it you? Was it you?

4 Down at His feet someone’s load was laid,
Somebody learnt that His debt was paid,
Saw that the Lord was his Surety made,
Was it you? Was it you?

5 Somebody came to the Cross one day,
Found that his burden had rolled away,
Someone had learnt from his heart to pray,
Was it you? Was it you?

6 Someone no longer at home could dwell,
Someone to others the news must tell,
Longing that they should find Christ as well,
Was it you? Was it you?
