Return, O wanderer, return
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 537 hymnals 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,
Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live;
Go to His bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.

And wipe away the falling tear:
'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn.

Return, O wanderer, return
At even, ere the sun was set
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 314 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay;
Oh, in what divers pains they met!
Oh, with what joy they went away!
2 Once more ’tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near;
What if Thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that Thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ! our woes dispel,
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved Thee well,
And some have lost the love they had;
4 And some are pressed with worldly care,
And some are tried with sinful doubt;
And some such grievous passions tear
That only Thou canst cast them out.
5 And some have found the world is vain,
Yet from the world they break not free,
And some have friends who give them pain,
Yet have not-sought a friend in Thee.
6 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve Thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
7 O Saviour Christ! Thou too art Man;
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind, but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
8 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
No word from Thee can fruitless fall;
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all.

To Thee, O Lord, my soul I bow;
I seek the bliss Thy wounds impart,
I long to find Thee in my heart.
2 Be Thou my strength, be Thou my way,
Protect me through my life's short day:
In all my acts let Wisdom guide,
And keep me, Saviour, near Thy side.
3 Correct, reprove, and comfort me;
As I have need, my Saviour be;
And if I would from Thee depart,
Then clasp me, Saviour, to Thy heart.
4 In fierce temptation's darkest hour,
Save me from sin and Satan's power;
Tear every idol from Thy throne,
And reign, my Saviour, reign alone. Topics: Discipline; Holiness; Protection, prayed for Used With Tune: ASLEEP IN JESUS

God calling yet! – shall I not hear?
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 425 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God calling yet!--shall I not hear?
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in slumber lie?
2 God calling yet!--shall I not rise?
Can I His loving voice despise,
And basely His kind care repay?
He calls me still: can I delay?
3 God calling yet!--and shall He knock,
And I my heart the closer lock?
He still is waiting to receive,
And shall I dare His Spirit grieve?
4 God calling yet!--and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still:--My heart, awake!
5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide:
Where but with Him doth peace abide?
Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven,
And let the spirit rise to heaven!
6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay.
Vain world, farewell! from thee I part:
The voice of God hath reached my heart. Topics: The Gospel Call; Holy Ghost Grieved; Repentance Used With Tune: ASLEEP IN JESUS

To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its venomed sting!
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest!
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
