Tell me, my Savior!
Where Thou dost feed Thy flock,
Resting beside the rock,
Cool in the shade.
Why should I be as one
Turning aside alone,
Left, when Thy sheep have gone,
Where I have strayed?
Seek me, my Savior!
For I have lost the way.
I will Thy voice obey;
Speak to me here!
Help me to find the gate
Where all Thy chosen wait;
Ere it shall be too late,
Oh, call me near!
Show me, my Savior!
How I can grow like Thee;
Make me Thy child to be,
Taught from above;
Help me Thy smile to win;
Keep me safe folded in,
Lest I should rove in sin,
Far from Thy love.
