I I WAS wandering and weary, When my Saviour came unto me; For the ways of sin grew dreary,
And the world had ceased to woo me: Ard I thought I heard Iim say, As IIe came along His way,
O silly souls! come near Me; My sheep should never fear Me; I am the Shepherd true.
2 At first I would not hearken,
And put off till the morrow; But life began to darken,
And I was sick with sorrow; And I thought I heard Him say, As He came along His way, O silly souls!& c.

3 At last I stopped to listen,
His Voice could not deceive me;
I saw His kind Eyes glisten, So anxious to relieve me: And I thought I heard Him say, As He came along His way, O silly souls!& c.

4 He took me on IIis Shoulder, And tenderly He kissed me; He bade my love be bolder, And said how He had missed me; And I'm sure I heard Him say, As He went along His way, O silly souls!& c.
5 I thought His love would weaken,
As more and more He knew me;
But it burneth like a beacon,
And its light and heat go through mc:
And I ever hear Him say,
As He goes along His way,
O silly souls!& c. Amen.
