Author: R. Slater Hymnal: Alexander's Gospel Songs #35 (1908) 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 wander’d,
Afar from God thy soul has stray’d;
His gifts in sin thy hand has squander’d,
Yet still in love He calls thee home.
Refrain:
Thy God is near thee; tell thy story,
For He will hear thy tale of sorrow;
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 Saviour,
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 heav’n thy feet have wandered]
