Christian Worship Returning To God.
Lord, we have wandered from thy way,
Like foolish sheep have gone astray,
Our pleasant pastures we have left,
And of their guard our souls bereft.
Exposed to want, exposed to harm,
Far from our gentle Shepherd’s arm;
Nor will these fatal wanderings cease,
Till thou reveal the paths of peace.
O seek thy thoughtless servants, Lord,
Nor let us quite forget thy word;
Our erring feet do thou restore,
And keep us that we stray no more.
