Weary of wandering from my God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: Weary of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return, I hear and bow me to the rod, For thee, not without hope, I mourn: I have an Advocate above, A Friend before the throne of love. O Jesus, full of truth and grace, More full of grace than I of sin; Yet once again I seek thy face: Open thine arms and take me in; And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still. Thou know'st the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O for thy truth and mercy's sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer. Amen. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ST. FINBAR

Forth from the dark and stormy sky, Lord, to Thine altar’s shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Savior, we seek Thy shelter here: Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray; Turn not, O Lord, Thy guests away. 2. Long have we roamed in want and pain, Long have we sought Thy rest in vain; Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost, Long have our souls been tempest tossed; Low at Thy feet our sins we lay; Turn not, O Lord, Thy guests away.
