Yes, he gave me peace and pardon

Author: James Conner Bateman (1855-88) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #391 (1986) First Line: Though I wandered far from Jesus Lyrics: 1 Though I wandered far from Jesus In the paths of sin, Yet I heard him gently calling: Wanderer, come in. Refrain: Yes, he gave me peace and pardon, Joy without alloy. 2 Though my burden pressed me sorely And my courage failed, Christ released me, and his goodness O’er my sin prevailed. 3 Now I live for Christ my Saviour, Live to do his will; Though the path be dark and thorny, I shall conquer still.
