FOR MISSION SERVICES AND INSTRUCTIONS.

p And I, poor sinner, cast it all away; Lived for the toil or pleasure of each day; As if no CHRIST had shed His precious Blood, As if I owed no homage to my GOD.

mf O HOLY SPIRIT, with Thy fire Divine, Melt into tears this thankless heart of mine; Teach me to love what once I seem'd to hate, And live to GOD, before it be too late. Amen.

628" Return unto the Lord thy God: for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity."

mf RETURN, O wanderer, to thy home, Thy FATHER calls for thee;

No longer now an exile roam, In guilt and misery: Return, return!

P

Too long the loathsome fields of sin Thy fruitless toil have known:

No wholesome bread! no voice of kin! No home to call thine own!

cr Return, return!

Thy FATHER stands with outstretch'd hands, He gave His Son for thee: Poor soul, from sin's enthralling bands

He longs to set thee free.

Return, return!

co

mf Arise, stand up and homeward turn,

No longer dwell apart; His mighty love will never spurn

One humble contrite heart.

dim Return, return!

mf Our FATHER's house is full of bliss, d And there is room for all;

He welcomes with forgiving kiss;

O, hear His loving call!

dim Return, return!
