The repenting Prodigal

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXII (1791) First Line: Behold the Wretch whose Lust and Wine Lyrics: 1 Behold the Wretch whose Lust and Wine Had wasted his Estate, He begs a Share among the Swine, To taste the Husks they eat! 2 "I die with Hunger here he cries, "I starve in foreign Lands; "My Father's House has large Supplies "And bounteous are his Hands. 3 "I'll go and with a mournful Tongue "Fall down before his Face; "Father I've done thy Justice wrong, "Nor can deserve thy Grace." 4 He said, and hasten'd to his Home, To seek his Father's Love; The Father saw the Rebel come, And all his Bowels move. 5 He ran, and fell upon his Neck, Embrac'd and kiss'd his son; The Rebel's Heart with Sorrow brake For Follies he had done. 6 "Take off his Clothes of Shame and Sin," (The Father gives Command) "Dress him in Garments white and clean, "With rings adorn his Hand. 7 "A Day of feasting I ordain; Let Mirth and Joy abound; My Son was dead, and lives again, Was lost, and now is found."
