Unspeakably Precious is He

I walk in the light of his glory divine, And heed not the thorns that I meet; The hand of the Crucified One is in mine, He guideth my wandering feet. [Chorus] 4. Thro' sunshine and shadows, till death I will cling To him who has suffered for me; The wonderful love of my heavenly King My song thro' the ages shall be.

The Wanderer's Return

Author: H. L. Harrington Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: I have wandered, dearest Jesus Lyrics: 1. I have wandered, dearest Jesus, Far from thee; I have steeled my heart against thee, Calling me; I have heard thy sweet voice pleading, I have turned away unheeding, But now docile to the leading I shall be. 2. I have sinn'd against thee, Jesus, Scorn'd thy Word; I have shunn'd the light thy grace And love afford; I have mock'd thee and defied thee, I have scorg'd and crucified thee, Lo, I come, repentant; guide me, Gentle Lord. 3. Nevermore to wander, Jesus, Far from thee; On my path a plenteous light thou Shed'st for me; Nevermore o'er symbols moping, Not in man's vain power hoping, Nor in darkness feebly groping I am free. Used With Tune: [I have wandered, dearest Jesus]
