Return, O wanderer, now return,
And seek thy Father's face!
Those new desires, which in thee burn,
Were kindled by his grace.
Return, O wanderer now return!
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
Return O wanderer, now return!
Thy saviour bids thee live;
Go to his bleeding feet, and learn
How freely he’ll forgive.
Return, O wanderer, now return,
And wipe the falling tear!
Th Father calls—no longer mourn;
His love invites thee near.
