Return, O wanderer, return

Author: William B. Collyer Appears in 536 hymnals Topics: Accepted Time Lyrics: 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, And seek a Father's melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, Whose hand can heal thy inward smart. 3 Return, O wanderer, return; Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live; Go to His bleeding feet, and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe away the falling tear; 'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn," 'Tis mercy's voice invites thee near.

A fountain is opened, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not; The Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night.

On the bloody tree behold Him! Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? 4 Lo! the rising Lord ascending, Pleads the virtue of His blood; Venture on Him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 5 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Chant the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with His name; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Scripture: Luke 14:17 Used With Tune: GREENVILLE NEW

A lovely youth falling short of heaven

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Youth The accepted time First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heav'n to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold! 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21
