LyicsReturn, O wand'rer, now return,
And seek thy Father's face;
Those new desires which in thee burn
Were kindled by his grace.
Return, O wand'rer, now return!
He hears thy humble sigh!
He sees thy soften'd spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
Return, O wand'rer, now return!
Thy Saviour bids thee live;
Go to his feet, and grateful learn
How freely he'll forgive.
Return, O wand'rer, now return!
And wipe the falling tear;
Thy Father calls -- no longer mourn,
'T is love invites thee near.
