Christian Hymns ‎#59

59. Return, O wanderer, return

1 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek an injured Father's face,
Those warm desires that in thee burn
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.

2 Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live;
Go to His bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.

3 Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe away the falling tear:
'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn.
'Tis mercy's voice invites thee near.
