Lyics

WAND'RER from God, return, return,

And seek an injur'd Father's face;

Those warm desires, that in thee burn,

Were kindled by reclaiming grace.



Wand'rer from God, return, return;

Thy Father hears that deep-felt sigh;

He sees thy soften'd spirit mourn;

And mercy's voice invites thee nigh.



Wand'rer from God, return, return;

Renounce thy fears; thy Saviour lives;

Go to his bleeding cross, and learn

How freely, fully he forgives.
