92. Gentle Shepherd, Save Me Now

1 Far away my steps have wandered,
On the rugged mountain’s brow;
But to thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!

Refrain:
Save me now! save me now!
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
Unto thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!

2 Thou hast borne my weight of sorrow,
At thy feet I humbly bow;
And my heart with thee is pleading,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now! [Refrain]

3 Though thy love I long have slighted,
Though ungrateful I have been,
To thy fold my faith has brought me;
Let my weary soul come in. [Refrain]

4 Though thy love I long have slighted,
O’er my wasted years I weep;
In thy blessed arms of mercy
Shield and save thy wand’ring sheep. [Refrain]
