All as sheep are gone astrayEach one is gone in his own separate way
The light of the Gospel has cast its rays Hear the voice of the master; He calls today
It gladdens my heart to do your service To snatch the life of a man as from abyss To release the soul the devil often hardens The kingdom of God; surely it widens
The sacrifice of Christ has set us free But for His love, where would we be We once were blind but now we see For us He’s risen once slain on the tree
We with eyes yet were blind we grope in vanity hoping to find Something perhaps to satisfy the mind Alas from above, TRUE LOVE; none of its kind
Flesh of my flesh, Bone of my Bones Such intimacy desired but then I was alone Until for me the king left His throne To redeem my soul that we may be one
