I Was a Wandering Sheep
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #418 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Wandering from God 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. Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON

My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior's breast!

For without thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

Have spurned today the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done,
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
6 O may my soul on Thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
7 Praise God, from whom all blessing flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

O Sing Ye Hallelujah

’Tis good our God to praise;
’Tis pleasant and becoming
To Him our songs to raise;
He builds the walls of Zion,
He seeks her wandering sons,
He binds their wounds and comforts
the brokenhearted ones.
2 The starry hosts He numbers,
He calls them all by name;
His greatness and His wisdom
His wondrous works proclaim;
The meek He lifts to honor,
He humbles sinful pride.
Give thanks to Him and utter
His praises far and wide.
3 The heavens with clouds He covers,
He sends the cheering rain;
The slopes of all the mountains
He fills with grass and grain;
To beast and bird His goodness
their daily food supplies;
He cares for all His creatures,
Attentive to their cries.
4 No human power delights Him,
No earthly pomp or pride;
He loves the meek who fear Him
and in His love confide;
Then praise thy God, O Zion,
His gracious aid confess;
He gives thee peace and plenty,
His gifts thy children bless.
5 He sends His swift commandment,
And snow and ice enfold
The world, and none are able
To stand before His cold.
Again He gives commandment;
The winds of summer blow,
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
6 His statutes and His judgments
He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show;
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever,
And Hallelujah sing. Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English Tune Title: HARTFORD

Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,

Jesus, my Saviour and my God

Thou hast redeemed me with Thy blood;
By ties, both natural and divine,

Ere I'm aware, from Thee depart,
What dire reproach would fall on me
For such ingratitude to Thee!

The guilt, the shame, I deprecate:
And yet so mighty are my foes,
I dare not trust my warmest vows.

Grace in the needful hour afford.
Oh, steel this timorous heart of mine
With fortitude and love divine.

And gather joys from all my tears;
So shall I to the world proclaim
The honors of the Christian name.

Infinite Power, eternal Lord
Thou Lord of all above
Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #387 (1899) Topics: Wandering from God Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of all above,
And all below the sky,
Before Thy feet I prostrate fall,
And for Thy mercy cry.
2 Forgive my follies past,
The crimes which I have done;
Oh, bid a contrite sinner live,
Through thine incarnate Son.
3 Guilt, like a heavy load,
Upon my conscience lies;
To Thee I make my sorrows known,
And lift my weeping eyes.
4 The burden which I feel,
Thou only canst remove;
Display, O Lord, Thy pardoning grace,
And Thine unbounded love.
5 One gracious look of thine
Will ease my troubled breast;
Oh, let me know my sins forgiven,
And I shall then be blest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLMUTZ
Thou Lord of all above
In heavenly love abiding
