1 From Thee, my Savior, far away
My wand’ring feet have gone astray;
My careless steps have led so far
That darkness reigns without a star.
Refrain:
Father, receive with forgiving grace;
Close to Thy side give to me a place!
Thy Spirit’s help shall keep me true
In whatsoever Thou bidst me do.
2 For me Thy love has never changed,
Tho’ long from Thee I’ve been estranged;
My faithless heart would fain return,
For Thee once more my soul doth yearn. [Refrain]
3 Be Thou henceforth my only guide,
Direct my way, my paths decide;
Let all my aspirations be
To live and work, and die for Thee. [Refrain]
4 And when Thou’rt seated on Thy throne,
And saints, for whom Thou didst atone,
Shall gather there to sing Thy praise,
In glory then my voice I’ll raise. [Refrain]
