He found me in a des¤ert land,
A waste and howl¤ing wil¤der¤ness;
His lov¤ing heart was pained to see
My lost es¤tate, my help¤less¤ness;
“Fear not,” said He, “thy Lord is nigh;
No ran¤somed soul need ev¤er die.”

Chorus:
Oh, love su¤preme! Oh, sov¤ereign grace!
Which brought my Sav¤iour from on high
To seek His sheep, and bring them home:
Dear as the ap¤ple of God’s eye.

He soothed and bound my bleed¤ing wounds
And bore me gent¤ly to the fold;
His ten¤der care dis¤pelled my fear
And filled my soul with joy un¤told;
Be¤loved of God for¤ev¤er¤more,
My days of ban¤ish¤ment are o’er.

I pass my days in sweet con¤tent
With¤in the cham¤bers of the King;
I hear His voice and see His face;
His love in¤spires the song I sing,
In har¤mo¤ny with heaven a¤bove–
One spir¤it with the God I love.
