| Composer: | S. W. |
1 People of the living God,
I have sought the world around,
Paths of sin and sorrow trod,
Peace and comfort nowhere found,
Peace and comfort nowhere found.
2 Now to you my spirit turns,
Turns, a fugitive unblest:
Brethren, where your altar burns,
Oh! receive me to your rest.
3 Lonely I no longer roam,
Like the cloud, the wind, the wave;
Where you dwell shall be my home,
Where you die shall be my grave.
4 Mine the God whom you adore,
Your Redeemer shall be mine,
Earth can fill my soul no more,
Every idol I resign.
