The Gospel Awakening ‎#90

90. In Darkness I Wandered

1. In darkness I wandered till Jesus I found,
And then praise His name,
And then praise His name,
The clear light of heaven my pathway shone round,
And peace to my spirit there came.

Chorus:
And now I'm confiding,
And sweetly abiding
In Jesus, my Saviour and Guide;
His name I'm confessing,
He fills me with blessing;
To me He's far dearer than all else beside.

2. The birds o'er my head seemed to sing a new song,
So wondrously sweet,
So wondrously sweet;
All nature seemed praising in notes loud and long,
My Saviour, when first we did meet. [Chorus]

3. And now we are walking together a long,
My Saviour and I,
My Saviour and I;
He blesses and leads me with hand kind and strong,
And freely his grace does supply. [Chorus]

4. O wonderful Brother, Redemer and Friend,
I love Him I know,
I love Him I know;
This blessed companionship never to end
Grows sweeter as onward I go. [Chorus]
