Lost in its maz­es, no light canst thou see;
Preach the Gos­pel full of love,
But did He come down from above,
start
In ho­li­ness bril­liant, in right­eous­ness bright,
Forgive our trans­gress­ions, and teach us to know
To us and ours, O God of grace,
Savior, hear my ear­nest pray­er,
Coming to Him all who can?
And take away our shame.
By Thy birth, Thy cross, and pas­sion,
Come, Sav­ior dear, with us ab­ide,
The Fa­ther will glad­ly be­stow
He’ll meet thee while yet on the way;
The Fa­ther will glad­ly be­stow
Thy peo­ple wait for Thee;
With my Sav­ior I would grow;
To drive them near to God,
For the world has nev­er known
How the Son of God on high

com­pas­sion

Lo! the Good Shep­herd is call­ing to thee.
Seek the pow­er from ab­ove,
Out of love and com­pas­sion for me?
Faithful Fa­ther, God of grace,
My Fa­ther in ra­vish­ing love now draws nigh,
Keep us from temp­ta­tion, from ev­il and sin,
In ear­ly days their hearts se­cure,
Let my con­trite spir­it share
As they faint­ed by the way!
Thy pri­son­er’s plaint­ive sigh,
By Thy migh­ty in­ter­ces­sion,
Thy flock to liv­ing waters guide,
A balm for thy ev­ery woe.
O why wilt thou long­er de­lay?
A balm for thy ev­ery woe.
Let us Thy mer­cy see.
More and more I long to know.
The fu­ry of the rod.
For the way­ward and the lone.
Gave Him­self for us to die.
