Weary of Wandering From My God

Charles Wesley (1749) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 31:16

Verse 1

Weary of wandering from my God And now made willing to return, I hear, and bow me to the rod; For thee, not without hope, I mourn. I have an advocate above, A friend before the throne of love.

Verse 2

O Jesus, full of truth and grace, More full of grace than I of sin, Yet once again I seek thy face, Open thine arms and take me in, And freely my backslidings heal And love the faithless sinner still.

Verse 3

Thou knowest the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O for thy truth and mercy’s sake Forgive, and bid me sin no more! The ruins of my soul repair And make my heart a house of prayer.
