We wander in a thorny maze,
A vale of doubts and fears;
A night illum'd with sickly rays,
A wilderness of teara;
We wander, bound to empty show.
The slaves of boasted will;
We wander, dupes to hope untrue.
And love to wander still.
We wander—while unfading joy,
We ne'er with zest approve;
The bliss, that sparkles to destroy,
Secures our warmest love.
Some, syren leads our steps astray.
But speaks no peace within;
We wander in a flow'ry way,
We wander, heirs of sin!
We wander, but tho' oft we roam.
Led by allurements strong;
Yet from our heav'nly Father's home,
We would not wander long!
Cleanse us, O Saviour! from this stain,
In mercy's living flood;
Restore the lost, and bring again
The wand'rers back to God,
