I came a wanderer, and alone, My way was dark as night ; I looked to Thee, O blessed One, And then I found the light.
O Jesus, Saviour, Lamb of God, How much I owe to Thee, For all the wonders of Thy grace* And all Thy love to me !
2. I came with all my doubts and fears, No hope but in Thy Word ; And while I gazed upon the blood, Thy pardoning voice I heard.
3. Oh, may the Spirit's power be felt In this poor heart of mine, And make Thy Word my lamp and light, My shield and strength divine.
4. Oh, teach me, Lord, Thy voice to know, Amid the surging throng; Be Thou my hope, my life, my joy, My everlasting song.
