| Soul! celestial in thy birth, Dwelling yet in lowest earth, Panting, shrinking to be free, Hear God’s spirit whisper thee. Thus it saith; in accents mild,— “Weary wanderer, wayward child, From thy Father’s earnest love Still forever wilt thou rove? “Turn to hope, and peace, and light, Freed from sin, and earth, and night; I have called, entreated thee, In my mercies gentle, free. “Human soul, in love divine I have sought to make thee mine; Still for thee good angels yearn; Human soul, return, return!” | A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #197 (1866) |
