Call to the Wandering.
1Return, O wanderer, now return,
And seek thy Father's face;
Those new desires, which in thee burn,
Were kindled by his grace.
2Return, O wanderer, now return;
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
3Return, O wanderer, now return;
Thy Father bids thee live;
Go to his feet, and grateful learn
How freely he'll forgive.
4Return, O wanderer, now return,
And wipe the falling tear;
Thy Father calls--no longer mourn;
'T is love invites thee near.
