1 Lord! we have wander'd from thy way, Like foolish sheep have gone astray; Our pleasant pastures we have left, And of their guard our souls bereft. 2 Expos'd to want, expos'd to harm, Far from our gentle Shepherds's arm; Nor will these fatal wand'rings cease, Till thou reveal the paths of peace. 3 O seek thy thoughtless servants, Lord! Nor let us quite forget thy word. Our erring souls do thou restore, And keep us, that we stray no more. | A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy: for the use of Evangelical Lutheran Churches; to which are added prayers for families and individuals #251 (1814) |
