The repenting Prodigal

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #LXV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lo! what a rapturous joy possest Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a rapturous joy possest The tender parent's throbbing breast, To see his spendthrift son return, And hear him his past follies mourn. 2 Thus our bless'd Saviour wont despise The contrite heart for sacrifice; The deep-fetch'd sigh, the secret groan, Rises accepted to his throne. 3 He meets, with tokens of his grace The trembling lip, the blushing face; His bowels yearn when sinners pray, And mercy bears their sins away. 4 When fill'd with grief, o'erwhelm'd with shame, He, pitying, heals their broken frame; He hears their sad complaints, and spies His image in their weeping eyes.
