Hymn Context Compare
If for Christ I pro­claim the glad sto­ry,
The wick­ed, from their ear­li­est days,
Out in the de­sert dark and drear,
Thy serv­ant like a wan­der­ing sheep
Like wan­der­ing sheep o’er mount­ains cold,
With bit­ter ang­uish tore.
From the thrall­dom of sin,
Or did His jus­tice know.
In paths that are rough and steep;
Show us ev­ery de­vi­ous way
Will you go and speak to the lost ones here
Will you go and speak to the lost ones here
Won’t you pray, won’t you pray,
Dead in tres­pass, child, I sought thee;
From Thee, my Sav­ior, far away
The Bride­groom in the sky.
He shields from the storms of life.

Gone as­tray

I am sure He will show me His glo­ry,
With fro­ward heart, in fool­ish pride,
Far from the Shep­herd’s fold away.
Restore my soul and lead me home,
To life and peace with­in the fold,
In ru­in’s fa­tal road;
Is the world any bright­er,
Their prac­tice all the same;
He’s call­ing, call­ing His sheep.
Teach us with re­pent­ant grief
Will you lead them back to the Shep­herd’s fold
Will you lead them back to the Shep­herd’s fold
Christian work­ers, on­ward now
Life and par­don brought thee.
My care­less steps have led so far
They have left the nar­row way,
He shields from the storms of life;
To the shel­ter­ing fold re­turn;
