O hear my cry, be gracious unto me,
Come, Great Deliverer, come;
My soul bowed down is longing now for thee,
Come, Great Deliverer, come.

Refrain:

I’ve wandered far away o’er mountains cold
I’ve wandered far away from home;
O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold,
Come, Great Deliverer, come.

I have no place, no shelter from the night,
Come, Great Deliverer, come;
One look from thee would give me life and light,
Come, Great Deliverer, come.

My path is lone, and weary are my feet,
Come, Great Deliverer, come;
Mine eyes look up thy loving eyes to meet,
Come, Great Deliverer, come.

Thou will not spurn contrition’s broken sigh,
Come, Great Deliverer, come;
Regard my prayer and hear my humble cry,
Come, Great Deliverer, come.
