3*. The Wanderer No More Will Roam

8,8,8,6.
by M.J. Deck (Mrs. M.J. Walker)
1
The wanderer no more will roam,
 
The lost one to the fold hath come,
 
The prodigal is welcomed home,
 
O Lamb of God, to Thee!
2
Though clothed in rags, by sin defiled,
 
The Father did embrace His child;
 
And I am pardoned, reconciled,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
3
It is the Father’s joy to bless;
 
His love has found for me a dress,
 
A robe of spotless righteousness,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
4
And now my famished soul is fed,
 
A feast of love for me is spread,
 
I feed upon the children’s bread,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
5
Yea, in the fullness of His grace,
 
God put me in the children’s place,
 
Where I may gaze upon His face,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
6
Not half His love can I express,
 
Yet, Lord, with joy my lips confess
 
This blessèd portion I possess,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
7
Thy precious name it is I bear,
 
In Thee I am to God brought near,
 
And all the Father’s love I share,
 
O Lamb of God, in Thee!
