Lyics

RETURN, 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,

Thy Saviour calls for thee:

The Spirit and the Bride say "come,"

O now for refuge flee!

Return, return.



Return, O wand'rer, to thy home;

'Tis madness to delay:

There are no pardons in the tomb,

And brief is mercy's day:

Return, return.
