If some poor wandering child of thine
Have spurned to-day the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
Have spurned to-day the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
With blessings from thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
Come near and bless us when we wake.
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.

Till in the ocean of thy love
