How have I stray’d! My God, where have I been,
Since first I wander’d in the Maze of Sin!
Lord, I have been I know not where,
So intricate Youth’s Follies are;
And Age hath its Lab’rinths too,
Yet neither hath a wise returning Clue!
Thy Look, thy Call, to me,
Shall my far better Ariadne be.
O most sweet dear Jesu!
Hark, hark, I hear my Shepherd call away,
And in a doleful accent say,
“Why does my Lamb thus stray?”
O blessed Voice,
That prompts me to new choice!
And fain, dear Shepherd, would I come,
But I can find no Track
To lead me back,
And if I still go on,
I am undone.
‘Tis thou, O Lord, must bring me home,
Or show the way,
For poor Souls have thousand ways to stray,
Yet to return, but only one.
