Hymns of the Living Church

It drew my hard - er man - hood With cords of might-y love. A-men.

How oft to sure destruction

My feet had gone astray, Wert Thou not, patient Shepherd,

The Guardian of my way. How oft in darkness fallen,

And wounded sore by sin, Thy hand has gently raised me,

And healing balm poured in.

Wherever Thou wilt lead; No matter where the pasture

With Thee at hand to feed.

In death shall make me bold:
O bring my ransomed spirit
To Thine eternal fold. Amen.

And those who put their trust in Thee

Nor death nor hell shall harm.

Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life;

Grant us that way to know,
That truth to keep, that life to win

Whose joys eternal flow. Amen.

As loving as a child who sits

Close by his parent's knee,
And knows no want while he can have

That sweet society,
So, sitting at Thy feet, my heart

Would all its love outpour,
And pray that Thou wouldst teach me, Lord,
To love Thee more and more. Amen.
