LyicsReturn, O wand'rer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery:
Return, return!
Return, O wand'rer, to thy home,
'T is Jesus calls for thee;
The Spirit and the Bride say -- come;
O! now for refuge flee;
Return, return!
Return, O wand'rer, to thy home,
'T is madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day:
Return, return!
