Lyrics to "Don't Let me Go Astray"

Isaiah 49: 1-6

You were there in ages past
And called from the womb
Called to redeem the lost
And rise out of the tomb
You are the Light
Light of the nations
Until the end, and after
My Salvation
My Salvation

Chorus
Don’t let me go astray
Don’t let it be for nothing
Don’t let me fall away
As I wait for your coming
My Salvation
My Salvation

You were despised and rejected
Your labor was not in vain
In the shadow of Your hand, you hid me
You saved me and know my name
Open your ears, all you people
Pay attention near and far
Our salvation
Our salvation

But You said, “I have labored in vain;
 I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
 my recompense with my God.”

And now the Lord says,
 he who formed You from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
 and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for You are honored in the eyes of the Lord,
 and Your God has become Your strength—.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
