Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be; Let that grace now like a fetter Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. 4 Oh, that day when freed from sinning, I shall see Thy lovely face; Clothed then in the blood-washed linen How I'll sing Thy wondrous grace! Come, my Lord, no longer tarry, Take my ransom'd soul away; Send Thine angels soon to carry Me to realms of endless day.
