Yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at Thee, yet from Thee stray.
3 ’Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet, while I seek, but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see.
O, when shall all my wanderings end,
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend!
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun,
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
