LyicsRETURN, 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 see thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
Return, O wanderer, now return:
Thy Saviour bids thee live:
Go to his feet, and grateful learn
How freely he'll forgive.
Return, O wanderer, now return,
And wipe the falling tear:
Thy Father calls-no longer mourn:
'Tis love invites thee near.
