The New Christian Hymnal ‎#193

193. Return! Return!

1. Return! return!
O wand'rer, now return!
Return! return!
And seek thy Father's face;
Those new desires which in thee burn
Were kindled by His grace,
Were kindled by His grace.

2. Return! return!
O wand'rer, now return!
Return! return!
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy burdened spirit mourn
When no one else is nigh,
When no one else is nigh.

3. Return! return!
O wand'rer, now return!
Return! return!
The Savior bids thee live;
Come humbly to his feet and learn
How freely He'll forgive,
How freely he'll forgive.
