Representative Text

1. Oh, how many in darkness have gone astray,
Oh, how many daily wander.
Oh, how many in blindness now day by day,
Ever wander from the light away.

Chorus:
Oh, reclaim them, yes, reclaim them,
'Tis the Lord's blest command hear the call!
Oh make haste to the rescue the night soon falls,
To the Saviour go and bring them all.

2. What a joy 'tis to know anywhere we go,
We may lead them and reclaim them
To the Saviour who died to redeem from woe,
Just because He loved the wand'rer so.

3. Brother, think how the Saviour invites them home,
Call the wand'rer, call the wand'rer,
'Tis a joy to the angels when sinners come,
There is glory in the ransomed throng.
