Sad And Lonely, Weak And Weary,
Down Life’s Rugged Path I Roam;
Heart Is Bleeding, Soul Is Weeping,
Seeking Rest And Finding None;
Father, Once I Dearly Loved Thee,
In The Happy Days Of Yore,
But Of Love This World Has Robbed Me,
Shall I Never Love Thee More?
O Backslider, There Is Pardon,
Christ Will Save You From Your Sin,
Fill Your Yearning Heart With Gladness,
And Receive You Back Again;
Come, Oh, Come, Then, To The Savior,
Cast Your Doubts And Fears Away,
Plunge Into The Healing Fountain,
There To Save Your Soul Today.
Here’s A Withered Flow’r And Faded,
Emblem Of My Lonely Heart,
Once So Full Of Love And Duty,
Now Lies Crushed By Human Art;
Father, Once My Prayers Were Answered,
In The Happy Days Of Yore,
When In Faith And Love I Sought Thee,
Wilt Thou Never Hear Me More?
Life’s A Burden, Lord, Without Thee,
Peace I Nevermore Can Know,
All This World A Sea Of Trouble,
All A Wilderness Of Woe;
Father, Leaving All, I Seek Thee,
Plead Once More To Be Forgiven;
Wash Away My Sins And Sorrows,
Father, Give Me Hope Of Heaven.
