1 I wandered from the fold of God,
My feet the way of sinners trod
Till hungry, lonely, naked, poor,
I sought again my Father’s door.
Refrain:
The dead’s alive, the lost is found!
Let songs of endless joy resound!
Let angels echo ‘round the throne—
“Rejoice! the Lord brings back His own!”
2 Ashamed to meet Him face to face,
Not worthy to receive His grace,
Yet in my deep humility,
I plead His boundless love for me. [Refrain]
3 He saw me, and on flying feet
He came the wayward one to greet!
Now I once more am in His care,
Once more His love and plenty share. [Refrain]
