We all, O Lord, have gone astray,
And erred from the heavenly way!
The wilds of sin our feet have trod,
Far from the paths of Thee, our God.
Thine eyes in, each the sheep behold,
Whose feet have wandered from the fold:
That guideless, helpless, strives in vain
To find its safe retreat again; -
Now listens, if perchance its ear
The Shepherd's well-known voice may hear
Now, as the tempests round it blow,
In plaintive accents vents its woe.
Hear us, Great Shepherd of the Sheep!
Our wanderings heal, our footsteps keep;
We seek thy sheltering fold again;
And shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?
Teach us to know and love thy way:
And grant, to life's remotest day,
By thine unerring guidance led,
Our willing feet thy paths may tread,
---Alternative verses---
We all, O Lord, have gone astray,
And wandered from the heavenly way!
The wilds of sin our feet have trod,
Far from the paths of Thee, our God.
Hear us, Great Shepherd of the Sheep!
Our wanderings heal, our footsteps keep;
We seek thy sheltering fold again;
Nor shall we seek Thee, Lord, in vain?
