The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7877

7877. Pray For the Wanderer

1 Far in the desert wild, walking a dreary way,
Suffering and sin defiled, going astray.

Refrain:
Pray for the wanderer,
Pray for the wanderer,
Pray for the wanderer,
Going astray!

2 Tenderly bid, they come, back from sin’s wilderness,
Come to our Father’s home, saved by His grace. [Refrain]

3 Plead now at mercy’s gate for each poor wandering one;
Soon it will be too late, life will be done. [Refrain]

4 Pray, and with love entreat, all who by sin are pressed,
Bid them at Jesus’ feet find endless rest. [Refrain]
