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!
