The Love That Seeks

I wan­dered once in sin’s dark night

Nor would to God be re­con­ciled;

He led me to His glo­ri­ous light

And loved me as His child.

My Fa­ther loves His err­ing child

And guards me when the storm is wild;

There’s naught can move me from His love:

Where’er I wan­der I’m His child.

Whene’er I go from Him as­tray

To steep my soul in sin’s dark stain

He seeks me out by night and day

And brings me home again.

He pro­mised He would be my stay

When death shall bid my soul to come;

My head up­on His arm I’ll lay

Till I am safe at home.
