- 1People of the living God,
- I have sought the world around,
- Paths of sin and sorrow trod,
- Peace and comfort nowhere found.
- Now to you my spirit turns--
- Turns, a fugitive unblest;
- Brethren, where your altar burns,
- Oh, receive me into rest.
- 2Lonely I no longer roam,
- Like the cloud, the wind, the wave;
- Where you dwell shall be my home,
- Where you die shall be my grave,
- Mine the God whom you adore,
- Your Redeemer shall be mine;
- Earth can fill my heart no more,
- Every idol I resign.
- 3Tell me not of gain or loss,
- Ease, enjoyment, pomp and power;
- Welcome poverty and cross,
- Shame, reproach, affliction's hour
- "Follow me!" I know the voice!
- Jesus, Lord! thy steps I see:
- Now I take thy yoke by choice;
- Light thy burden now to me.
