Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away; O let me from this day be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire; as Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee pure, warm, and changeless be, a living fire. 3 While life’s dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be Thou my guide; bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away, nor let me ever stray from Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, when death’s cold, sullen stream shall o'er me roll, blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul.

Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load. 2 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. No other work save Thine, No other blood will do; No strength save that which is divine Can bear me safely through. 3 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. 'Tis He that saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love, because He loveth me; I live, because He lives. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

I Was a Wandering Sheep

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 498 hymnals Topics: Profession of Faith Lyrics: 1 I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home, I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. 2 The Shepherd sought His sheep, The Father sought His child; They followed me o’er vale and hill, O’er deserts waste and wild. They found me nigh to death, Famished and faint and lone; They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wandering one. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; ’Twas He that loved my soul, ’Twas He that washed me in His blood, ’Twas He that made me whole. ’Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep; ’Twas He that brought me to the fold, ’Tis He that still doth keep. 4 No more a wandering sheep! I love to be controlled, I love my tender Shepherd’s voice, I love the peaceful fold. No more a wayward child! I seek no more to roam; I love my heavenly Father’s voice, I love, I love His home.
