The Wanderer's Return

Author: J. F. Huffmaster Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: From Thee, my Savior, far away Refrain First Line: Father, receive with forgiving grace Lyrics: 1 From Thee, my Savior, far away My wand’ring feet have gone astray; My careless steps have led so far That darkness reigns without a star. Refrain: Father, receive with forgiving grace; Close to Thy side give to me a place! Thy Spirit’s help shall keep me true In whatsoever Thou bidst me do. 2 For me Thy love has never changed, Tho’ long from Thee I’ve been estranged; My faithless heart would fain return, For Thee once more my soul doth yearn. [Refrain] 3 Be Thou henceforth my only guide, Direct my way, my paths decide; Let all my aspirations be To live and work, and die for Thee. [Refrain] 4 And when Thou’rt seated on Thy throne, And saints, for whom Thou didst atone, Shall gather there to sing Thy praise, In glory then my voice I’ll raise. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [From Thee, my Savior, far away] Text Sources: Songs of Conquest by Joseph F. Berry (New York/Cincinnati: Abingdon Press, 1923)
