Come, Great Deliverer, Come

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 40:17

Verse 1

O hear my cry, be gracious now to me, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come; My soul bowed down is longing now for Thee, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come.

Chorus

I've wander'd far away o'er mountains cold, I've wander'd far away from home; O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come

Verse 2

I have no place, no shelter from the night, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come; One look from Thee would give me life and light, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come.

Chorus

I've wander'd far away o'er mountains cold, I've wander'd far away from home; O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come

Verse 3

My path is lone, and weary are my feet, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come; Mine eyes look up Thy loving smile to meet, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come,

Chorus

I've wander'd far away o'er mountains cold, I've wander'd far away from home; O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come

Verse 4

Thou wilt not spurn contrition's broken sigh, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come; Regard my prayer, and hear my humble cry, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come.

Chorus

I've wander'd far away o'er mountains cold, I've wander'd far away from home; O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold, Come, Great Deliv'rer, come
