Lord, a Savior’s Love Displaying

lyricist: Ernest Hawkins, 1851–52
Composer: William Monk, 1850

Lord

a Sav­ior’s love dis­play­ing

Show the hea­then lands Thy way;

Thousands still like sheep are stray­ing

In the dark and cloudy day.

Shades of death are ga­ther­ing o’er them

Lord

they per­ish from Thy sight!

Let Thine an­gel go be­fore them;

Bring the Gen­tiles to Thy light.

Fetch them home from ev­ery na­tion

From the is­lands of the sea;

By the word of Thy sal­va­tion

Call the wan­der­ers back to Thee.

Thou their pas­ture hast pro­vid­ed

Grant the bless­ing long fore­told;

Let Thy sheep

di­vine­ly guid­ed

Find at last the one true fold.
