I was wandering and weary
Author: Rev. Dr. Faber Hymnal: Hymns of Consecration and Faith #531 (1902) Refrain First Line: O silly souls, come near Me Lyrics: 1 I was wandering and weary
When my Saviour came unto me;
For the ways of sin grew dreary,
And the world has ceased to woo me;
And I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way,
Refrain:
“O silly souls, come near Me,
My sheep would never fear Me—
I am the Shepherd true,
I am the Shepherd true!”
2 At first I would not hearken,
And put off till the morrow;
But life began to darken,
And I was sick with sorrow;
Still I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way, [Refrain]
3 At last I stopped to listen,
His voice could not deceive me;
I saw His kind eyes glisten,
So anxious to relieve me,
I was sure I heard Him say,
As He came along His way, [Refrain]
4 He took me on His shoulder,
And tenderly He kissed me;
He bade my love be bolder,
And said how He had missed me;
Then I heard Him sweetly say,
As He went along His way, [Refrain]
5 I thought His love would weaken,
As more and more He knew me;
But it burneth like a beacon,
And its light and heat go thro’ me.
And I ever hear Him say,
As He goes along His way,— [Refrain]
