Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16745 First Line: Our willful hearts have gone astray Lyrics:
1 Our willful hearts have gone astray;
Our feet have wandered far away;
O God, remember not the day
When we forsook Thy love.
2 O patient eyes that saw us go!
O careless hearts to grieve Him so!
O feet so swift to leave, so slow
When we came back to Love!
3 We followed far the wayward will;
Our eyes turned home from every hill;
They found Thee waiting, watching still,
When we came back to Love.
4 We found no home to east or west;
We bore no peace within the breast,
Until once more we were at rest
When we came back to Love.
5 "Our Father!" Hallowed be the name
That all within Thy house proclaim;
Their prayer and ours at last the same—
Thy will be done, O Love.
