Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #29 (1870) Lyrics: 1 I am wretched, poor, and needy;
Whither shall I fly?
There's a voice within
that tells me I must surely die.
Some have sought him; some have found him;
From their fears set free,
They sing his praises all the day;
But 'tis not so with me.
2 Oft he calls me as he passes,
Bids me come to him:
Oh, I cannot find the Saviour,
For my eyes are dim.
Some have sought him; some have found him:
From their blindness free,
They follow Jesus in the way;
But 'tis not so with me.
3 Conscience tells me of my danger,
Bids me not delay;
But I wander without knowing
How to find the way.
Some have found him, and press onward;
From their burdens free.
The shining goals is full in view;
But 'tis not so with me. Tune Title: REPENTANCE
