Pity, Lord, thy straying sheep,
Prone to wander from the fold:
Bring them back, and safely keep;
In thine arms the stragglers hold.
Heal their wanderings, Son of God—-
Bless the purchase of thy blood.
Fond to stray, but ign'rant quite,
When once lost, to find their home;
Wand'ring on by day and night,
Farther, farther, still they'd roam.
Heal their wanderings, Son of God—-
Bless the purchase of thy blood.
Lord, thy wand'ring sheep restore,
To thy pastures, ever fair;
Keep them, lest they wander more;
Let thy love confine them there.
Heal their wanderings, Son of God—-
Bless the purchase of thy blood.
