10583. The Love That Seeks

1 I wandered once in sin’s dark night,
Nor would to God be reconciled;
He led me to His glorious light,
And loved me as His child.

Refrain:
My Father loves His erring child,
And guards me when the storm is wild;
There’s naught can move me from His love:
Where’er I wander I’m His child.

2 Whene’er I go from Him astray,
To steep my soul in sin’s dark stain,
He seeks me out by night and day,
And brings me home again. [Refrain]

3 He promised He would be my stay,
When death shall bid my soul to come;
My head upon His arm I’ll lay,
Till I am safe at home. [Refrain]
