The Little Seraph ‎#124a

124a. You must be a Lover of the Lord

1 Return, O wand'rer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery.

Chorus:
For you must be a lover of the Lord,
For you must be a lover of the Lord,
For you must be a lover of the Lord,
Or you can't go to heaven when you die.

2 Return, O wand'rer, to thy home,
'Tis Jesus calls for thee:
The Spirit and the Bride say come;
Oh, now for refuge flee. [Chorus]

3 Return, O wand'rer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day. [Chorus].
