I was a wanderer,
Far, far from home;
Darkness was over me,
Rest I had none.
Grace bade the gloom depart,
Grace drew my weary heart
Upward, my God, to Thee,
Upward to Thee!

In me did sin abound,
Dregs of the fall;
In Thee is mercy found,
Full, free to all.
Pardon and peace I sought,
Then by the Cross was brought
Home, O my God, to be
Ever with Thee!

There did my Lord appear
My Way to heaven:
Through faith in Him alone,
Sin is forgiven.
Hence, my victorious plea
"Jesus hath died for me!"
Jesus hath died for me!
Yes, died for me!

Father, I now am brought
Nigh unto Thee,
Purchased by Jesus’ blood,
That cleanseth me.
Endless my song shall be,
Glory, my God, to Thee!
Glory, my God, to Thee!
Glory to Thee!
