How Oft, Alas, This Wretched Heart (Ewart)
Text by Anne Steele
Tune: Ewart by S P Tuckerman
1. How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Has wandered from the Lord,
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of His Word.
2. Yet sovereign mercy calls, Return;
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
O take the wanderer home.
3. And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardoned rebel live
To speak Thy wondrous love?
4. Almighty grace, thy healing power
How glorious, how divine!
That can to bliss and life restore
So vile a heart as mine.
5. Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet,
Dear Savior, I adore;
O keep me at Thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more.
