Afar from God

Author: Richard Slater Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16732 First Line: Afar from Heav'n thy feet have wandered Refrain First Line: Thy God is near thee—tell thy story Lyrics: 1. Afar from Heav’n thy feet have wandered; Afar from God thy soul has strayed; His gifts in sin thy hand has squandered, Yet still in love He calls thee home. Refrain: Thy God is near thee—tell thy story, For He will hear thy tale of sorrows; Thy God is near thee—full of mercy, And He will welcome thy return. 2. Thy feet have found sin’s way is thorny; Thy heart has found its pleasures vain; Thou hast grown weary, and about thee The gloom has spread of dark despair. [Refrain] 3. The broken heart the Lord will favor; The contrite spirit He will bless; He came to be the lost one’s Savior; He came to be the sinner’s friend. [Refrain] 4. Tell out thy need, and He’ll befriend thee; Pour out thy heart’s deep grief to Him; His boundless love, unmeasured mercy, His free forgiveness, are for thee. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Afar from heaven thy feet have wandered] (Harkness)
