When lost among the wild, dark mountains,
Far, far from Thee,
I heard Thy gentle voice, my Savior,
Calling in love to me.

Refrain

Safe, within Thy arms of mercy,
Never more to roam;
O, let me rest in peace forever,
Safe in my heart’s dear home.

When lost among the wild, dark mountains,
Sad was my cry,
Till softly came the words so tender,
“Fear not, for here am I.”

Refrain

O teach me to adore and praise Thee,
Savior divine;
Now I have made a full surrender,
All that I am is Thine.

Refrain

Wherever Thou wilt lead, I’ll follow
Close, close to Thee;
One prayer alone my soul is breathing:
Savior, abide with me.
