1 Lone the path thy feet have wandered,
Hard the load thy soul doth bear.
Friends forsake thee; foes surround thee;
Naught seems left but dark despair.

Refrain:
Wait no longer, doubting, fearing,
Hark! the Savior calleth thee,
"Weary, sin-sick, heavy laden,
Helpless, hopeless, come to Me."

2 All the way His love hath sought thee
O’er the mountains, rough and steep;
Let His love today o’ertake thee;
Let the Shepherd find His sheep. [Refrain]

3 In His arms He’ll gently bear thee
To the fold of love and peace;
Day by day His grace revealing,
Give thee joy that ne’er shall cease. [Refrain]
