1.    Far away my steps have wandered,
On the rugged mountain's brow;
But to Thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!

2.    Thou hast borne my weight of sorrow,
At thy feet I humbly bow;
And my heart with thee is pleading,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!

3.    Though Thy love I long have slighted,
Though ungrateful I have been,
To Thy fold my faith has brought me;
Let my weary soul come in.

4.    Though Thy love I long have slighted,
O'er my wasted years I weep;
In Thy blessed arms of mercy,
Shield and save Thy wandering sheep.

CHORUS

Save me now! Save me now!
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
Unto Thee my heart is crying,
Gentle Shepherd, save me now!
