The Sinner and the Song

Author: W. L. T. Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: A sinner was wand’ring at eventide Lyrics: 1 A sinner was wand’ring at eventide, His tempter was watching close by at his side; In his heart raged a battle for right against wrong; But hark! from the church he hears the sweet song: Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly. 2 He lingered and listened to ev’ry sweet chord, He remembered the time he once loved the Lord: Come on! says the tempter, come on with the throng; But hark! from the church again swells the song: While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high. 3 O tempter, depart, I have served thee too long. I fly to the Saviour, He dwells in the song: O Lord, can it be, that a sinner like me May find a sweet refuge by coming to Thee? Other refuge have I none: Hands my helpless soul on Thee. I come, Lord, I come, Thou’lt forgive the dark past, And O, receive my soul at last. Used With Tune: [A sinner was wand’ring at eventide]
