Help Me, Master

Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: The Chorus of Praise #51 (1898) First Line: You've wandered far in the fields of sin Refrain First Line: Why, oh, why so long delay? Lyrics: 1 You’ve wandered far in the fields of sin, You’re weak and worn with despair, Come back, come back to the Father’s home, With joy He’ll welcome you there. Refrain: Why, oh, why so long delay? Jesus is calling, come today, He’ll hear your penitent, pleading cry, “Help me, Master, or I die!” 2 You’ve scorned and slighted His loving voice, But hear Him patiently call: “Tho’ sins like mountains around you rise, My love can pardon them all.” [Refrain] 3 The peace of pardon will heal the heart, So broken, sin-sick and sore, The sins and errors of all the past Shall be remembered no more. [Refrain] 4 Then come today with your burdened heart And find the joy you have craved; Believe, and sing with triumphant shout: “My soul thro’ Jesus is saved!” [Refrain] Tune Title: [You've wandered far in the fields of sin]
