Buscou-me Com Ternura Lyrics Translation in English

Buscou-me com ternura

Sought me with tenderness

Jesus, o bom Pastor

Jesus, the good Shepherd

Achou-me na miséria

Found me in misery

Salvou-me com amor

Saved me with love

No céu cantaram de alegria

In heaven, they sang with joy

Os anjos, sim, em harmonia

The angels, yes, in harmony

Oh! Que amor glorioso!

Oh! What glorious love!

Preço tão grandioso

Such a grand price

Que Jesus por mim na cruz pagou

That Jesus paid for me on the cross

Inaudita graça me mostrou!

He showed me unprecedented grace!

Ferido, abandonado

Wounded, abandoned

Jesus me socorreu

Jesus helped me

E segredou-me: Achei-te

And whispered to me: I found you

De agora em diante és meu

From now on, you are mine

Tão meiga voz jamais ouvi

Such a gentle voice I never heard

Prazer maior jamais senti

Greater pleasure I never felt

Jesus mostrou-me as chagas

Jesus showed me the wounds

Que em meu lugar sofreu

That he suffered in my place

Coroa, mas de espinhos

A crown, but made of thorns

A cruz que padeceu

The cross he endured

Que poderia em mim achar

What could he find in me

Pra tais afrontas suportar?

To endure such insults?

Minha alma embevecida

My soul enraptured

Seu rosto a contemplar

Contemplating his face

Recorda as muitas bênçãos

Recalls the many blessings

Do seu amor sem par

Of his unparalleled love

Louvor e glória e adoração

Praise and glory and adoration

Tributa-lhe meu coração!

My heart offers to him!

Enquanto as horas passam

While the hours pass

Eu tenho gozo e paz

I have joy and peace

E aguardo o meu bom Mestre

And await my good Master

Que tão feliz me faz

Who makes me so happy

Jesus a mim virá buscar

Jesus will come to fetch me

E, então, pra sempre irei gozar

And then, I will forever rejoice
