The Hymn Makers' 'Seeking for Me (Jesus My Saviour to Bethlehem Came)' is a classic hymn that traces the life of Jesus from His birth in Bethlehem to His death on Calvary, emphasizing His personal love and sacrifice for each individual. The lyrics reflect on Christ's incarnation, atonement, and ongoing call to the wandering soul, ending with the hope of His return. The song's repeated refrain 'for me' underscores a deeply personal relationship with the Savior. It draws on the biblical narrative of Jesus seeking and saving the lost, reminiscent of Luke 19:10.

Jesus, my Savior, to Bethlehem came,

Laid in a manger to sorrow and shame;

O it was wonderful, blest be His name,

Seeking for me, for me:

Seeking for me, for me,

Seeking for me, for me;

O it was wonderful, blest be His name,

Seeking for me, for me.


Jesus, my Savior, on Calvary?s tree

Paid the great debt, and my soul He set free;

O it was wonderful?how could it be?

Dying for me, for me!

Dying for me, for me,

Dying for me, for me;

O it was wonderful how could it be?

Dying for me, for me!


Jesus, my Savior, the same as of old,

While I was wand?ring in darkness and cold,

Gently and long did He plead with my soul,

Calling for me, for me!

Calling for me, for me,

Calling for me, for me;

Gently and long did He plead with my soul,

Calling for me, for me!


Jesus, my Savior, shall come from on high.

Sweet is the promise as weary years fly:

O I shall see Him descend from the sky,

Coming for me, for me!

Coming for me, for me,

Coming for me, for me;

O I shall see Him descend from the sky,

Coming for me, for me!
