SS&S 499: I WAS WANDERING, SAD, AND WEARY
1. I was wandering, sad, and weary,
When the Saviour came unto me;
For the paths of sin were dreary,
And the world had ceased to woo me:
And I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way:
" Wandering souls, O do come near Me;
My sheep should never fear Me:
I am the Shepherd true, I am the Shepherd true!"
2. At first I would not hearken,
But put off till the morrow,
Till life began to darken,
And I grew sick with sorrow:
Then I thought I heard Him say,
As He came along His way:
3. At last I stopped to listen----
His voice could ne'er deceive me----
I saw His kind eye glisten,
So anxious to relieve me:
Then I knew I heard Him say,
As He came along His way:
4. I thought His love would weaken
As more and more He knew me,
But it burneth like a beacon, [me;
And its light and heat go through
And I ever hear Him say,
As He goes along His way:
