Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray

Verse 1

Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray From Thy secure enclosure's bound, And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found,

Verse 2

Remember still that they are Thine, That Thy dear sacred Name they bear; Think that the seal of love divine, The sign of covenant grace, they wear.

Verse 3

In all their erring, sinful years, O let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to Thee.

Verse 4

And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly's way; The wanderers to Thy fold restore.
