171. Help Me to Wander No More

1 O Savior, I come like the poor, weary dove,
A refuge to find in the ark of Thy love;
I know Thou art waiting my soul to restore;
O help me, I pray Thee, to wander no more.

Chorus:
To wander no more, to wander no more,
Dear Savior, I pray Thee,
O help me to wander no more.

2 I come to be cleansed in the fountain so free,
The fountain of life Thou hast opened for me;
I know Thou art willing my soul to restore;
O help me, I pray Thee, to wander no more. [Chorus]

3 O Savior, I long for Thy glory to live,
I sigh for the peace that the world cannot give;
Thy grace and Thy Spirit my soul can restore;
O help me, I pray Thee, to wander no more. [Chorus]

4 O Savior divine, Thou hast answered my prayer;
Now sweetly I rest from my burden of care;
My soul is uplifted, my sorrow is o’er;
O help me, I pray Thee, to wander no more. [Chorus]
