Author: Josiah Pratt Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We all, O Lord, have gone astray,
And wandered from thy heavenly way:
The wilds of sin our feet have trod,
Far from the paths of thee, our God,
Far from the paths of thee, our God.
2 In penitential grief we sigh,
And lift to thee our humble cry,
Won by thy love, we turn to Him
Who died to save us from our sin.
3 Hear us, great Shepherd of thy sheep!
Our wanderings heal, our footsteps keep:
We seek thy sheltering fold again,
Nor shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain.
4 O God! we praise thee for thy grace:
How sweet the smiling of thy face!
O let thy grace our hearts control,
And fill with love each longing soul.
5 Teach us to know and love thy way;
And grant, to life's remotest day,
By thine unerring guidance led,
Our willing feet thy paths may tread. Topics: The Christian Unfaithfulness Lamented Used With Tune: BACA
