1 One ev’ning while burdened with care,
Opposing my Savior so fair,
A sinner, a human disguisèd,
One lonely, forsaken, despised.
Refrain:
Christ who was crucified,
In love’s compassion cried,
"Come home, My erring child,
I’ll make thee whole";
O’er me the peaceful dove
Spread the broad wings of love;
Longed I for Heav’n above,
Home of the soul.
2 Tho’ weary of earth’s fiercest din,
Arrayed in the garments of sin,
I held to my sad unbelief,
But should have been seeking relief. [Refrain]
3 Now finding my hopes were in vain,
That Christ for the sinner was slain,
Then I who had wandered astray,
Returned to my Savior’s own way. [Refrain]
