The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#256

256. Return, O wanderer, return

1 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek thy Father’s face;
Those new desires which in thee burn
Were kindled by his grace.

Refrain:
O you must be a lover of the Lord,
Or you can’t go to heaven when you die!

2 Return, O wanderer, return,
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn
When no one else is nigh.

3 Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Saviour bids thee live;
Come to his cross, and grateful learn
How freely he’ll forgive.
