C.M.S 404 t. S. 675 D. 85 (FE 634)
“Where art thou?" - Gen. 3:9



1.  WHEN temptation around me roll 

     And eartth care me encompass 

     When appear the foe, friend to be 

     Destruction ploy to o’er me roll.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord, me, bid to come

              As Thou in Eden, Adam called 

              Where art thou sinner sound 

              the voice 

              That I may from the foul be free.


2.  When Satan craft’ly me deceive 

     Me to earthly pinacle raise

     Me entreated, him to worship 

     That earthly stock, I may possess.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord...


3.  When earthly lusts me now ensnare 

     Thy commands me all to ignore 

     Upon my wand’ring heart impressed 

     In vain assurance “All is well”.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord...


4.  When all hope and confidence 

     Not in living God now repose 

     Vain incantations now my trust 

     And lusty spells my song at dawn.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord...


5.  When in my self will, love to walk 

     In the dicates of wand’ring heart 

     When I in my un-stable breast

     In unstable state, me abide.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord...


6.  When all my hearing lost, not found 

     And the tracer’s call me ignore 

     When no redemption my hope be 

     And wallowest me in my sins.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord...


7.  When counsellors from me doth flee

     And comforters to me entrange

     When sorrow like the wirl-wind rage 

     My head in penitence to bow.

Chorus: O Saviour Lord, me, bid to come

              As Thou in Eden, Adam called 

              Where art thou sinner sound 

              the voice 

              That I may from the foul be free.  Amen
