Lyrics

Poor wandering one,
Though you have surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wandering one.

Poor wandering one,
If such poor love as mine,
Can help thee find
True peace of mind,
Then take it it is thine.

Take heart, no danger lowers,
Take any heart but ours.

Take heart, fair days will shine,
Take any heart, take mine!

Take heart, no danger lowers,
Take any heart but ours.

Take heart, fair days will shine,
Take any heart, take mine!

Poor wandering one,
Though you have surely strayed,
Take heart of grace,
Thy steps retrace,
Poor wandering one.

Take heart, no danger lowers,
Take any heart but ours.
