O return, O wanderer, return,
And seek an injured father's face;
Those warm desires that in thee burn.
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.
Return, O wanderer, return.
And seek a father's melting heart;
His pitying eyes thy grief discern,
His hand shall heal thine inward smart.
Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live:
Go to his bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.
Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe away the falling tear;
'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn,"
Tis mercy's voice invites thee near.
