Author: W. P. L. Hymnal: Favorites Number 1 #53 (1943) First Line: I wandered far in sin's dark maze Refrain First Line: Jesus hath saved me, Jesus doth hold me Lyrics: 1 I wandered far in sin's dark maze,
With doubts and fears oppressed,
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto Me and rest."
Jesus hath saved me, Jesus doth hold me,
Faithful and true is He;
Jesus is nearer, Jesus is dearer,
Than the whole wide world to me.
2 And O the satisfying peace
That comes from Christ my Lord;
In tempter's snare He is my strength,
I glory in His Word.
Jesus hath saved me, Jesus doth hold me,
Faithful and true is He;
Jesus is nearer, Jesus is dearer,
Than the whole wide world to me.
3 O sinner, Christ is calling you,
Why will you longer stray?
His blood was shed upon the tree
For you - O come today.
Jesus will save you, Jesus will hold you,
Faithful He'll be, and true;
He will be nearer, He will be dearer,
than the whole wide world to you. Languages: English Tune Title: [I wandered far in sin's dark maze]
