Text: | Gentle Shepherd, Save Me Now |
Author: | Henrietta E. Blair |
Tune: | [Far away my steps have wandered] |
Composer: | Wm. J. Kirkpatrick |
1 Far away my steps have wandered,
On the rugged mountain’s brow;
But to thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
Chorus:
Save me now! save me now!
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
Unto thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
2 Thou hast borne my weight of sorrow,
At thy feet I humbly bow;
And my heart with thee is pleading,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now! [Chorus]
3 Though thy love I long have slighted,
Though ungrateful I have been,
To thy fold my faith has brought me;
Let my weary soul come in. [Chorus]
4 Though thy love I long have slighted,
O’er my wasted years I weep;
In thy blessed arms of mercy
Shield and save thy wand’ring sheep. [Chorusn]
