On the de­sert mount­ain stray­ing,
Far, far from home,
Heard I there a sweet voice, say­ing,
Why wilt Thou roam?

Refrain

’Twas my bless­èd Lord that sought me,
Out of sin to grace He brought me,
Oh the glad, new song He taught me,
Praise, praise His name.

At a throne of mercy kneel­ing,
Sad and op­pressed,
Came that voice, to me re­veal­ing
Hope, life and rest.

Refrain

Oft I heard that voice re­peat­ing,
I am the Way.
Tarry not, the hours are fleet­ing,
Come, come to­day.

Refrain

When from glo­ry un­to glo­ry
My flight shall be,
Still I’ll sing the pre­cious sto­ry,
Savior, of Thee.
