| Text: | Pray for the Wanderer |
| Author: | Rev. C. M. Hott |
| Tune: | [Far in the desert wild] |
| Composer: | A. S. Kieffer |
1. Far in the desert wild,
Walking a dreary way;
Suff'ring and sin defiled,
Going astray.
Chorus:
Pray for the wanderer,
Pray for the wanderer,
Pray for the wanderer
Going astray!
2. Tenderly bid, they come,
Back from sin's wilderness;
Come to our Father's home,
Saved by his grace. [Chorus]
3. Plead now at mercy's gate
For each poor wand'ring one;
Soon it will be too late,
Life will be gone. [Chorus]
4. Pray, and with love entreat
All who by sin are pressed;
Bid them at Jesus' feet
Find endless rest. [Chorus]
