Naught but sin and misery; What Thy love and power can tell? Deep, immense, unsearchable. 3 Thro’ the year my life has been Marked by waywardness and sin; Yet Thou hast the wanderer blest, Thro’ my Lord’s unrighteousness. 4 Now I come to Thee for light, Guide and cheer in life’s dark night; Now I rest upon Thy Word, Dare to call Thee God and Lord.
