Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Greek Church #23 (1900) Meter: 6.6.8.4 Lyrics:
Far from Thy heavenly care,
Lord, I have gone astray;
And all the wealth Thou gav’st to me,
Have cast away.
Now from a broken heart,
In penitence sincere,
I lift my prayer to Thee, O Lord,
In mercy hear.
And in Thy blest abode
Give me a servant’s place,
That I, a son, may learn to own
A Father’s grace.
