Spratt, I No, not despair - ing - ly Come I to Thee; No, not distrust - ing-ly the knee: Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still my plea, did not love my Fa-ther's voice, I loved a - far to roam. They bound me with the bands of love, They saved the wand-ering one. AMEN. 3 Jesus my Shepherd is; 'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole; 'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep, 'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Tis He that still doth keep. 4 I was a wandering sheep, I would not be controlled; But now I love my Shepherd's voice, I love, I love the fold. I was a wayward child, I once preferred to roam; But now I love my Father's voice, Rev. Horatius Bonar, 1843 Arr. from Beethoven, 1824 231 THE HYMN TO JOY 8.7.8.7. D. I Take me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son; 54 4 津 That which Thou wouldst have me, make me, Let Thy will in me be done. Long from Thee my foot steps stray-ing, Thorn-y proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and pray-ing, Take me to Thy love, my God. A-MEN. |
