Lyrics of the song "A sinner was wandering at eventide."
1. A sinner was wandering at eventide,
His tempter was watching close by at his side;
In his heart raged a battle for right against wrong —
But hark! from the church he hears the sweet song:
Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly.

2. He stopped and listened to ev’ry sweet chord,
He remembered the time he once loved the Lord:
Come on! says the tempter, come on with the throng —
But hark! from the church again swells the song:
While the billows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high.

3. O tempter depart, I have served thee too long;
I fly to the Saviour, He dwells in that song:
O Lord, can it be that ta sinner like me
May find a sweet refuge by coming to Thee?
Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee.
I come, Lord, I come;
Thou’ll forgive the dark past, And
oh, receive my soul at last!
