My Heart’s Dear Home

When lost among the wild

dark mount­ains

Far

far from Thee

I heard Thy gen­tle voice

my Sav­ior

Calling in love to me.

Safe

with­in Thy arms of mer­cy

Never more to roam;

O

let me rest in peace for­ev­er

Safe in my heart’s dear home.

When lost among the wild

dark mount­ains

Sad was my cry

Till soft­ly came the words so ten­der

Fear not

for here am I.

O teach me to ad­ore and praise Thee

Savior di­vine;

Now I have made a full sur­ren­der

All that I am is Thine.

Wherever Thou wilt lead

I’ll fol­low

Close

close to Thee;

One pray­er alone my soul is breath­ing:

Savior

ab­ide with me.
