Return, O Wanderer!

Collyer Hymnal: Christ in Song #167 (1908) Topics: Returning to God; Invitation and Repentance Returning to God First Line: Return, O wanderer, return Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek thy Father's face; Those new desires which in thee burn, Were kindled by his grace. 2 Return, O wanderer, return; Thy Saviour bids thee live; Come to his cross, and, grateful, learn How freely he'll forgive. 3 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe the falling tear; Thy Father calls no longer mourn; 'Tis love invites thee near.

A Heart of Praise

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Christ in Song #183 (1908) Topics: Returning to God; Invitation and Repentance Returning to God First Line: Oh, for a heart to praise my God! Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free, A heart that always feels Thy blood, So freely shed for me. 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone. 3 A heart in ev'ry tho't renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine. 4 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above: Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love.

O For That Flame!

Author: Wm. H. Bathurst Hymnal: Christ in Song #166 (1908) Topics: Returning to God; Invitation and Repentance Returning to God First Line: O for that flame of living fire Lyrics: 1 O for that flame of living fire Which shone so bright in saints of old; Which bade their souls to heav'n aspire, Calm in distress, in danger bold! 2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abram's breast, and sealed him thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine? 3 Is not thy grace as mighty now As when Elijah felt its pow'r? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour? 4 Remember, Lord, the ancient days; Renew thy work, thy grace restore; And while to thee our hearts we raise, On us thy Holy Spirit pour.
