Verse 1
Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall, From bondage set me loose; I would not wish to live at all Unless I live for you.
Verse 2
To you, wheree'er I pitch my tent, I would an altar raise, And with a humble frame present The sacrifice of praise.
Verse 3
To you devote my health and strength, While health and strength shall last, For future mercies humbly trust, Nor e'er forget the past.
Verse 4
Lord, guide me through the wilderness, To Canaan's fertile land; Through Jordan's stream fearlessly pass, If you but give command.
