Representative Text

1 Thro’ all the years I’ve roamed in sin,
And wandered from my Lord away,
He tenderly has cared for me,
And guided me thro’ every day.

Refrain:
Oh, He’s my friend,
No evil can my soul betide;
I’ll trust His grace—
He’ll lead me to the glory side.

2 When clouds would hover over me,
And from me almost hide the light,
My Savior, with His love-light true,
Is ever near to banish night. [Refrain]

3 When other friends would prove untrue,
My Lord, I know, is faithful still;
To Him I’ll all my service give,
And strive to do His blessèd will. [Refrain]
