I was straying when Christ found me

Avis B. Christiansen (1895-1985)

4 Verses Shepherd & Sheep Grace & Redemption

Verse 1

I was straying when Christ found me In the night so dark and cold; Tenderly His arm went round me And he bore me to His fold.

Verse 2

With His nail-scarred hand He brought me To the shelter of His love; Of His grace and will He taught me, And heav'nly rest above.

Verse 3

Through the night be dark around me, I am safe, for He is near; Never shall my foes confound me, While the Saviour's voice I hear.

Chorus

Precious hiding place, Precious hiding place, In the shelter of His love; Not a doubt or fear, Since my Lord is near, And I'm sheltered in His love.
