LORD, a Saviour's love displaying,

Show the heathen lands Thy way;
Millions still like sheep are straying
In the dark and cloudy day.

Shades of death are gathering o'er them,
Lord, they perish from Thy sight!
Let Thine Angel go before them;
Bring the Gentiles to Thy light.
Fetch them home from every nation,
From the islands of the sea;
By the Word of Thy salvation

Call the wanderers back to Thee.
Thou their pasture hast provided,
Grant the blessing long foretold;
Let Thy sheep, divinely guided,

Find at last the common fold.

Probably by Wilhelm II., Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, author of the Hymn "Gott der Frieden hat gegeben," of which it is the tune.
